June 15, 2017
Dear Families
  We had a fantastic day yesterday with our walking fieldtrip.  I couldn't email you after I left school yesterday, but wanted to remind you to do a tick check on your child. 

More importantly, I wanted to let you know that today we cleaned out all of our stuff and the students are bringing home their math books, all notebooks, and some of their work.  Tomorrow, more writing pieces and scored math tests will come home with the Report Cards.  

There are MANY pages left in the student math books (especially book 2).  A fantastic idea would be to have your child work on some of the empty pages over the summer.  Have them record the date at the top of the page,bring it in in August, and I'll reward them for doing extra work!!  This would be a great way to help your child practice some of what they learned this year.  Of course, it would make the most sense for them to do the incomplete pages from the Units we actually finished (1-6) but there is some content from unit 7 that I bet they could do too!  

And finally, another very important thing that you will see come home today are books and additional resources to support your child in reading over the summer!  Each child will have access to at least 3 books, a calendar to keep track of the days and titles that they read, and resources from the Pierson Library.  Additionally, the flyer for our summer book club came home today (and was posted on SeeSaw).  I will be emailing families and students about a week or so before each meeting to remind you and to get an RSVP for the meetings.  

Please take the time over the next few days to go over the work your child brought home today.  It is important that you acknowledge their hard work and growth.  Additionally, they posted an End of the Year reflection onto SeeSaw today that might be nice to discuss with them.

Thank you for your support.
