This week:

We wrapped up our curriculum content for the year!!

We will spend the next couple of days working on some different math activities to continue to review what we've learned this year!

CKLA content is COMPLETE!!

We FINISHED our Wonder Novel Study last week. This is one of my favorite books. We often had amazing conversations throughout the book. We will watch the movie WEDNESDAY afternoon! Students may bring a SMALL snack (no family/share size bags, not all candy!!) and a clear liquid drink (Poppi, Sprite, etc are ok).

We touch briefly on the 50 States and Capitals this week but time will be tight for this.

We will use this as writing time before we leave tomorrow and on Wednesday to wrap up a special project.

Students will work to wrap up this final writing project by Wednesday. This will have less impact on their grades, however, it always has a HUGE impact on students and families!

Students will choose someone important to them - someone they look to as a hero or for advice - and will write an essay about what makes this person their hero. This MUST be someone who they associate with. They may *NOT* write about a celebrity or athlete unless they know them personally. With that being said - it does NOT have to be a family member. This person does NOT have to be still living either.

I am hoping that the timing works out, I am able to have parents, families, and if possible their heroes, come in on Thursday, May 21st and allow the students to read their essays to each of you. Fingers crossed we can pull this off! **I will update this tomorrow after I speak with students and send out a final ParentSquare message to confirm!*
