Our Last Week in 5B Has Now Come...

Oh my goodness, 5B. As I write this I'm getting a bit emotional thinking about this being our last week together as a 5B family. I will try to keep myself under control and calm as long as I can. But I'm not promising to hold it together on our last day...

How about I just focus on some things we could keep in mind for this week for now, instead of our sad ending???

With all of the notes and fliers coming home the last 2 weeks, I thought I'd remind YOU and YOUR FAMILIES about some of the events taking place now and coming up...


1) Used Books: Clean off your shelves and bring send any gently used books to school for teachers to use in their classrooms! It will be like Christmas in May!

2) Scholastic Book Fair: Tuesday - Thursday of this week. It's a "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" deal. When you clean off your shelves of old books, you'll have room for new ones. What a great way to kick off some summer reading!!

3) School Surveys (for parents): Kids, could you remind your parents about the surveys that are online for them to complete. The information helps the school make changes that will improve things for families.

4) Summer Wisdom and Wellness Breakfast and Lunches: Kids, remind your families about the FREE BREAKFAST and LUNCHES the school is providing this summer. Any kids from the ages of 0 - 18 can come in and have a healthy start to their day and a lunch to keep them going until supper. You can come every day. If you have family or friends visiting in the summer, bring them, too! The more students we have enjoy the free meals, the better the program will run for future years! I'd love to make a "breakfast or lunch" reunion for our 5B class for some special day or even more often!

5) Last Days of School: There are a lot of things to do this last week. I wanted to give you a few reminders about what you'll need to think about.
**Return any missing library books. Will need to pay if can't find them.
**Return any text books or book club books that may have been missing.
**Will need to be cleaning out desks/lockers on Thursday. Bring extra bags if you have many items to bring home.
**Will have a class picnic on Thursday. Bring own sack lunch and drink. (no peanut butter items, please)

6) Of course, WW#4 is due Monday morning. This has been assigned for 8 weeks. We shouldn't have any reason to not have it ready. Right????

Sorry! I know this post was WAY LONG, but there are so many things going, and we've been extremely busy with all of our special activities. I'll know you checked the blog this weekend, if you come in on Monday morning with a SMILE and politely ask me for Last Week of School Reminder Note. It will have the same information as this post, but you can have a paper copy of it and hang in on your fridge for constant reminders:)

Have a great last weekend as a 5B student! Next weekend, you'll be on your way to 6th grade!
