THE END OF THE YEAR
IS ALMOST HERE…
SO A PARTY MUST BE NEAR!

Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe, but the end of the year is here! Your child has worked so hard throughout this year and now it is time to wind down and celebrate! Many things will be happening the last week of school so here are some details FYI…

All Week
• No homework this week (nor was there any last week).
• Students will be eating lunch outdoors.
• It is recommended that your child comes with a water bottle to stay hydrated, and maybe even sunblock and/or a hat on these warmer days.
• Uniform shirts are still expected, unless it is a specific theme day.

Monday, June 6th
* Staff vs 6th grade Students in a Volleyball game – your child might want to wear sunblock, sunglasses and a hat as we will be outdoors for a good hour. Parents are welcome to come and play on the staff side. 
* Type Mission Investigations/EOY Opinion Writing on Chromebooks
* Pizza party for those Passing Math Facts 1-12
* Yearbook Signing and Farewell Class Book

Tuesday, June 7th
* Staff vs 6th grade Students in a Basketball game – your child might want to wear sunblock, sunglasses and a hat as we will be outdoors for a good hour. Parents are welcome to come and play on the staff side! 
*Yogurt Parfait Party for Making Healthy Eating Choices this Year
* Oral Presentations – Mission Project Slideshows

Wednesday, June 8th
* Enjoy the last Harvest of the Month for the year – bell peppers
*Chromebook Fun Activities
* We will have a garage sale. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure, right?!  Your child will be able to sell items (optional) to other students to earn some extra class money before our final auction. No more than what can fit on and around their desk. Please check the items your child intends to sell and give your approval. No candy, food or drinks please. Again, students should not come with real money to class. This is being sold for class money to earn for final auction.

Thursday, June 9th
* We will clean out our desks and send things home. Please send your child with an extra bag or an emptied backpack.
* Game day! Students can bring a game or two from home to share with classmates. This should be a card or board game. Please avoid electronic items that only involve one or two people.
* Final Auction – Turn in class money

Friday, June 10th LAST DAY!
* Special treats for summer birthdays
* Movie, popcorn, and Beach Day. Students may dress in appropriate beach gear (shorts and tanks) to relax while viewing the movie.
* AR prizes will be awarded for points earned. I will post total points on the blog so check it out.
* Report Cards sent home (unless there are outstanding bills).
*Minimum Day – 12:30 Dismissal

Students: Vacation officially begins at 12:30! Have a wonderful break and the best wishes in fifth grade. Please spend some time reading daily, and log onto iReady and THINK Central to stay sharp over the summer. I will miss you all so please come back and visit!
