Updates May 31-June 3

Only 9 more days to go! Where has this year gone? If you haven't returned the green sheet brought home by your child last week, please return it as soon as possible. It is very important that we know how your child will be getting home on the last day of school so that we can make sure that everyone is safely home! REMEMBER: there is no Extended Day on the last day of school. Also, knowing whether or not your child will return to Bartram Springs will help us to form classes for next year.

There will be no more homework for the rest of the school year and no more spelling tests. Please make sure that your child continues to read every night and also through the summer. It has been proven that students lose skills through the summer and as hard as they have all worked this school year, we CERTAINLY don't want that to happen! Remember that just because they can read the words, doesn't mean that they understand what they are reading. Please ask them to tell you what is happening in the story. Have them give you details about the characters and tell you what is happening in the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

The secret word for this week is PROGRESS which all of the students have made this year. I am so proud of each and every one of them. We are continuing to move forward in all of our subjects until the last day of school. We will have more information coming home about next Wednesday, June 8th when we will have our end of the year celebration. Your child will not need lunch on that day. Ms. Santos or I will let you know what to expect that day.

Have a wonderful week!
