Our week for June 10- 13, 2025

 

To all those who celebrate Eid-al-Adha I wish you and your family a happy celebration. 

There is no school on Monday, June 9, 2025.  It is a PA Day.  School will resume on Tuesday.

Here are some reminders for our upcoming week.

1) Tuesday is Day 5 of our cycle.

2)  There are NO more MWW words for the year.  We have completed our weekly words.  Our yellow MWW folder can be kept at home.  :) This yellow folder supplements all the Decodable Passages that were sent home this year for their blue Reading Folder.  We have another copy at school, which will be coming home shortly.  Please keep both their MWW words and their decodable passages to support reading over the summer.  Keeping up with our strategies will enable a smooth transition in September.  

3) We have no more Book Exchange.  Please return all library books back to school by June 13.

4) Our assessment folder went home today.  Please keep all work at home and send back the folder empty on Tuesday so we can put more work in it. Please make note of their writing rubric for Term 2.  A reading rubric will be sent home shortly.  

5) We are learning about Financial Literacy.  If you have loose change around the house, have your child count it.  We learned to sort and count up.  Below are some graphics to support our learning journey.  

Here is a great website to support our learning through digital manipulatives.

6) 

Our Jump Rope for Heart is on Thursday, June 12.  Our rain  date is June 13.  Please dress your child appropriately to participate.  We will be outside, weather permitting, so hats are a must!  We jump from 2-3:30pm.  A donation link was sent out through EDSBY.  

Have a wonderful weekend with your children.
