Hi 5th/6th Grade BHA Families!
Well, we are in the HOME STRETCH! Two more weeks of classes and then this amazing school year will come to a close. It truly feels like we were just kicking off orientation and getting to know one another, and now here we are. I am happy to report that we have finished all of our syllabus lessons in all 3 subjects and now will be wrapping up with final projects and special events. This week the Students got a taste of that with a special project we did in Science after listening to our first 3 AMAZING Science Project presenters. We then played a review game in History, got some additional direction for the IEW Final Project, and then enjoyed a beautiful showcase of latin music and dance by our performing arts students. Such a fun day!
I would like to wish all you incredible Mothers a most amazing Mother's Day weekend. I am praying that, through the hugs and smiles you receive from each of your children, you may feel the love of the Father poured down in abundance! Your children are so very blessed to call you, Mom! enJOY this special weekend!
Blessings,
Mrs. AyalaHA FYI
P.S. I AM STILL ACCEPTING DONATIONS!!! Families, our end of year Class Raffle is approaching. This is when the Students "cash" in their bank book points for raffle tickets and get a chance to earn some really cool prizes. I am asking for donations of items I can raffle off. It can be anything from a $5 In-N-Out Gift Card to a board game to some cool books or anything else you know your child and their friends would enjoy. Please email me at magda.ayala.branches@gmail.com or text me at 617.901.7722 with what you will be able to donate. Your help would be so appreciated and would ensure the Students have an enjoyable and memorable end of year experience. A big thanks to those of you who have already donated such wonderful items.
