Last Newsletter May 21 - May 23

I honestly can't believe that I am writing our last newsletter of the year--it will be brief, but I wanted to again say what  wonderful class this has been this year.  We have learned many things, laughed a lot, and have made a lot of wonderful memories.  I will never forget this group of students. 

Reading is the big emphasis in first grade and many of my students made huge progress in reading.  Please try and read with your child over the summer to prevent a "summer slide".  Go to the library--read outside together--encourage your child to write stories or letters or to write and create their own books.

Our 100-book challenge picture will be in the May 30 edition of the Iron County Today newspaper.  Check this Wednesday's paper just in case (May 23), but the editor said that edition was quite full and he wasn't sure if he could get it in that one, but for sure the May 30th edition.  Congrats to Stephan, Phoenix, Wes, Piper and Brinley.  These students worked hard and at least read 100 books!!!

Tomorrow we will be heading to the St. George Children's museum.  If your child signed up to bring a lunch from home, please don't forget that.  They will need a drink also.  Today we had a blast at the Aquatic Center.  I will end with posting a few pictures from our time at the pool.

Have a wonderful summer and Happy Reading!!
