Last Week
We really accomplished a lot last week and had a great deal of fun. Our beach trip on Monday was super fun, although it did go by way too fast! The scinec fair on Tuesday was really interesting and I think it inspired many kids to want to do something like that next year. We worked on the FGGP and Math life a few times, trying to wrap up those activities. For the FGGP, the students worked on videotaping a PSA for how to be a good digital citizen. When it is completed it will be on the FGGP blog for your viewing pleasure. In Math Life the students encountered their unexpected expense/reward. Some students went into debt and others won some money! Thursday was our first annual Fun Run and it went off without a hitch. Gretchen and I could not be more proud of how well our classes did with this event! We do hope to get all donations turned in by Wednesday.
Saturday night was the much anticipated campout that also was a great success. I saw big smiles 99% of the time! Thanks again to all the parents that helped provide food, time and money to this event.
This Week
Well, it is almost over! We will be wrapping up any loose ends, reflecting on the year and saying goodbye to many students that are bridging or moving on to other places. It is a very bittersweet time.
Please help me get the classroom cleaned out by making sure your child brings a large bag on Wednesday. I will be passing back a great deal of work and many projects are quite cumbersome, so those students that normally ride their bikes, might need to get some help getting some of this stuff home.
Also, for the bridging ceremony on Wednesday please be sure that students bring a sack lunch that does not need to be microwaved. We will be eating picnic style at B Street Farm.
Thank you all for your help and support this year! I could not have made it through this year without all your support, both emotional and physical so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I will try and get some slideshows of photos from the year up on the blog in the coming weeks.
