WOW! What a week! Thank you to everyone that came to Muffins with Mom! This is my third year doing the event, and every year I am pleasantly surprised at the amount and joy and love that fills the MPR. You moms ROCK! Thank you for letting us spoil you a little bit on Friday at Muffins with Mom (pictures coming soon).
The last week of school tends to be an emotional rollercoaster. In my experience it is best for the students to keep it as routine as possible, and our end of year celebration as laid back and relaxing as possible, there is a lot of unknowns coming up in their lives. While summer is exciting it is an anticipated change in routine for them, as well as knowing a new classroom, teacher, and expectations will await them in the fall. This can cause a little anxiety. I have found it best to keep the last day celebration "chill". Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Summer birthdays: If your student has a summer birthday and you'd like to send in a treat and have them celebrate this week, I totally support that! Just send me an email letting me know what day you'd like to do it :]
This week we will enter into 3rd grade boot camp! We will spend the week discussing what is expected of 3rd graders and sharpening our skills. Monday-Wednesday will be learning as usual, with math and Spalding review. Thursday we will hone in on our skill of team work while completing a few camp related STEM challenges, like building a shelter! On Friday the room will be transformed into a campout! We will enjoy s'mores and a movie!
