Hello!
Welcome to a new week. While the rainy weather makes a gloomy Monday, I know my lawn loves it!
So, as we are now into our second week of June, we are looking very quickly at the end of the year. I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. I know we say that every year, but I found that we had so much fun this year that is seems to have disappeared before me.
A few reminders as we finish up the 2014-2015 school year.
I have been sending home, and will continue to send home some books and folders. Please take a look at the contents, discuss them with your child, and please send them back. We are still working on things in class, but I really wanted you to get a chance to see the amazing things that your children have done this year. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will send home their work for the summer at the very end of the year.
We have a very cool organization called Junglesport coming here to SJA throughout the last week of school. They set up climbing structures for the students in the school gym and certified instructors guide the students through the activities. The students are really looking forward to this event! If you have not already done so, please complete and return the form to the school. Please let me know if you need a replacement form.
There will be no more new Word Wall Words coming home for this year. We will spend the month of June reviewing the many words that we have learned this year already. Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment to assisting the students with their new words each week. Their practice and hard work has certainly paid off!
The homework calendars for the month of June will be finished shortly. At the end of this week, the students will bring home their story retell journals. They will be telling you all about the story, The Gruffalo! Once the retell journal is complete, feel free to return the calendars with the journals. The students should focus on reading daily as homework for the remainder of the school year.
We have been working on our plays within the class. The students have been put into small groups and have been working hard to learn their lines and get into character. More information will come home about out little plays shortly!

Your child’s report card and IEP will be sent home
from their homeschool during the last week of June. Interviews will not be held at the end of the
year. I am more than happy to sit down
with you and discuss your child’s progress before the documents are sent
home. If you would like to schedule a
meeting to talk about your son/daughter and the amazing work they have done
this year, please do not hesitate to call SJA or write a note in the agenda and
we can arrange a meeting.
Rhymes- Research indicates there is a strong link between rhyming and reading
ability. For this reason, working on rhyming skills is an essential part of our
class program. Sit with your
child and try to find rhyming words
to match the clues below. Then create some of your own!
(1) What flowers do that
rhymes with mud? (bud)
(2) What flowers do that
rhymes with room? (bloom)
(3) What plants do that
rhymes with pout? (sprout)
(4) What birds lay that
rhymes with legs? (eggs)
(5) What a bird builds that
rhymes with best? (nest)
(6) What eggs do that
rhymes with match? (hatch)
(7) What farmers plant that
rhymes with weeds? (seeds)
(8) A month in spring that
rhymes with day? (May)
Please stay tuned for more posts! There will be plenty of information coming your way for the next few weeks. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great week everyone!
