It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is so near. I have been reflecting on the challenges as well as the triumphs and can’t thank you all enough for all of your support and hard work! As we continue our learning and fun end of year activities here is what you need to know.
End of year assessments in math will take place on Monday June 8th for 7th grade and Tuesday June 9th for 8th grade. Students wrapped up their Biome unit with having to survive a plane crash and I have been enjoying their background stories and knowledge of the abiotic and biotic factor knowledge in order to help them survive.
Please remind students to bring all library books back this next week. Don't forget to browse the book fair and then bring in books you and your child are ready to swap at book swap this coming week!.
The 8th grade beach trip takes place this Friday June 5th. Here’s the schedule:
We will leave approximately 9:15 am after doughnuts for dudes and get to beach around 11:15/11:30. They voted on stopping for pizza for lunch. We figured $10 per student would be more than enough to cover pizza for group.We will stay at the beach and play beach games (volleyball, paddle ball Frisbee, bad mitten, sand soccer, skim boarding). For safety reasons we will ask the students not to venture into the water.
They are very excited to have a bonfire with s'mores and hot dogs for dinner. They voted on staying later at the beach in lieu of spending the night at MRA. I suggested we leave around 7pm to head home and be back around 9pm.
If anyone has a small grill or skewers we could use for this event it would be appreciated.
