Hello Fabulous Families,
I cannot believe we have only fourteen school days left!
As of Friday, 17 of 21 campers have met their 4th Nine Weeks AR goals!!!! The remaining 4 are sooo close! Look for an update and keep reading :).
If you have not already done so, please send in three stamps so your child's report card can be mailed home.
Thank you so much to Room Parent Michelle Moore for providing year-end information and communications!!
During our busy last two and a half weeks we will continue to prepare for next year by reading, writing and playing math games created by the campers!! Our BIG animals unit is Science is underway and we will begin our endangered animal reports this week. Our Kevin Henkes author study continues and will include persuasive writing and additional responses to his literature.
Our plans also include:
