Summer!!!

I can't believe our year together has come to an end.  We have done so many great things this year!  We had a number of activities scheduled this month, but Mother Nature did not cooperate.  Instead of a full day of field day, our special area teachers did a modified version on our rain date, and the kids had a chance to rotate through four of the games we had planned for outside (including the bouncy house!).  We were also rained our for our last Stream Visit, but we were able to watch the movie, Big Miracle.  This movie told the story of three whales that were stuck in the ice up in Alaska, and many different people worked together to help them.  But some activities went on as scheduled!  Our pizza party was a huge success!  We ate lunch outside, had Popsicles and enjoyed our time together.  We signed yearbooks, played a game of kick ball against Mrs. Coene's class, and wrote letters to our fifth grade teachers!

For the first time ever, Klem South had a moving up day.  Students were able to go to their classroom for next year, meet the teacher, see who will be in their class, and ask questions about next year!  It was so exciting to do this, and I hope it helped to ease some anxiety about next year!

As you all make plans for summer, be sure to include some reading and practicing of math facts!  Go to the public library and stock up on books!  It has been a great year, and a pleasure working with you and your child!  Have a safe, happy and fun summer!

Enjoy!
