The Last Week of School

Good Morning!

I knew I was forgetting something all day yesterday!
We have lots of projects and assessments this week. Please make sure you are studying with your child every night....

Today
Okay, maybe not so much. But, we do have a project that the kiddos are finishing up in class. They are making commercials for future fourth graders! They are persuading them to work on a particular social skill/study habit to prepare for fourth grade. Last week, they wrote their scripts, used at least three persuasive techniques, and wrote an explanation of the different techniques they used, and how they are supposed to persuade their audience. Today, we will finish filming and share our videos. I will post the completed ones later today!

Thursday
Tomorrow, we are going to take out the robotics kits and create our own Lego robots. Students will be able to give it commands using the laptops. It should be a lot of fun! Please make sure your kiddo has a reusable bag on Thursday. I am going to start sending things home so they don't have to carry such a heavy load on Friday.

Friday
On Friday, we will take time to go through our supplies and make sure all their things make their way home. We are going to sign yearbooks, decorate sunglasses for a photo shoot, and have our party in the afternoon!

For our party, the class will be split into four groups. The groups will rotate through the different stations (classrooms) we have set up. I am in charge of the bingo room - yeah! Please feel free to rotate with your kiddo through each station. Bingo is pretty easy to manage :)

Thank y'all so much for a wonderful year! I have truly enjoyed getting to work with your wonderful kiddos everyday. Have a great Summer!
