Preparing for the Final Day!

Hopefully your child is coming home in tears due to this being the last full day of school J.  I wanted to send one last annoying informative email covering a few basics as we wrap up.

First, books that belong to me are all labeled on the back.  If you happen to find books like this, simply return them as soon as possible so other kids can read them (even if that is next year).

Second, I am putting together a 4-in-1 reading program for the kids (Hiawatha Public Library, ½ Priced Books, Barnes and Noble, and Cedar Rapids Kernels).  That way their minutes read can be used four different ways at the same time.  Information will come home tomorrow with report cards.

Next, for those of you signed up for Khan Academy, congratulations on earning 2.7 MILLION points!  Results within the classroom has been obvious as well.  If you haven’t signed up yet, simply let me know and I can help you do so (even if you need help three months or three years from now).

Finally, tomorrow the kids will be sharing their national parks brochures.  We will do this from 11:30-12:00.  Several students took them home tonight – if so, please make sure they are returned tomorrow.  After lunch and recess, we will have an awards ceremony from 12:50 – 1:25.  You are welcome to come for both/either the brochure presentation or the awards ceremony…just make sure to check in at the office.

Thanks again for your support throughout the year.  This have been my most successful year as a classroom teacher, but that couldn’t be done without your support inside and outside of school.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
