Our Last Week in 7-B!!

Monday marks our last week in 7-B! We have learned so much, grown tremendously, and matured into intelligent, strong, courageous girls. And the BEST part was we had a blast doing it!! I am so proud of all we have accomplished this year, and I know the girls will continue to grow and succeed as they "move on" to Eighth Age.

News and Notes from the week:

*We had a great time at the Science Center yesterday, and a HUGE thanks to all the parents who were able to join the class on their final field trip.

*Coming home next week are:

1.      our last set of folder papers

2.      a math packet to be completed over the summer. Please be sure to return it to your   daughter's 8^th Age teacher in the fall.

3.      a summer reading journal from Mrs. Stone, our librarian. This too will be returned to your daughter's 8^th Age teacher in the fall.

4.      We have a few days left so be sure you child get the proper rest at night.

*On Monday, Groups 3 and 4 have sharing.  Ella, Yasmine, Abby, Maggie, Charlotte, Claire, Taylor, and Mariana be ready to share your favorite book with the class.

Happy Friday!

What a wonderful week we have had!!  Track and Field day was so much fun!  We loved the obstacle course and relay races the most.  Today, we had a great time seeing our new classrooms for 8th Age.  We wonder which class we will be in and how much homework we'll have :)

*No school on Monday, May 28th


*Thursday, May 31st, is our class trip to the Science Center.  If you are joining us on the bus, please meet us at school at 9:15.  If not, please meet us downtown at 9:45.  The bus will pick us up at 2:15 to bring us back to school.  Please pack a lunch in a paper bag, which can be thrown away.  The school will provide a morning snack and a drink at lunch.  PLEASE REMEMBER NO PEANUTBUTTER!  Students will be required to wear their school uniforms.
