joy: a feeling of great happiness
"When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." -Buddha
Announcements for this Week:
It's been such a pleasure to be your child's teacher this year! I'm so proud of everything the students have accomplished this year! Please keep in touch and say hi whenever!
There will be no homework this week :) Enjoy!
Please have your child bring an extra bag to carry home desk items on Wednesday as we clean our desks. Backpacks can get heavy and full very fast! Extra bags help :)
There will be no Beyond the Bell on the last day of school! All students need to be picked up at 12 PM- please be sure to plan accordingly!
If you haven't been able to bring in $4 for the pizza/shave ice, please do that as soon as possible! Thank you!

Summer Ideas
If you're looking for ways to continue to support your child in their learning over the summer, there are quite a few free and easy things you can do! Think about getting a library card and spend a day each week at the library. Lots have special events as well that promote reading! Giving your child access to many books helps to keep their skills sharp! Continue to practice flashcards and facts during the summer as well! Even something like 5 minutes a day keeps those multiplication facts fresh in their minds. You can also consider having your child keep a journal or diary! This is a great way to work on penmanship, grammar, and writing skills! Have them practice writing various types of sentences in their entries as a challenge! Grocery shopping, chores, and sports or lessons can also be great places to work on problem solving skills.

This week we'll get to be joyful as we bring in summer together! Lots of fun activities and end of the year tasks will get to be enjoyed together!
