It’s hard to believe that there are only 4 weeks left. Baseball and softball are in full swing along with the many spring parties. I’ve been caught up in so many end of year activities that I feel like I’ve been swimming. I’m sure many of you are on the same page.
The class has been moving ahead in their class novel “Wierdo’s War”. We have been doing a lot of written responses to the text and I have been using them as grades. I’m happy to say that I haven’t observed the typical spring dip in grades. Thank you for supporting your child at home.
I wanted to thank my classes for an outstanding birthday last week. You truly have awesome children! It was complete with a sheet cake and Dunkin Munchins. It was the most memorable in my 17 years of teaching.
On Monday, the Independent Reading Journal is due. I will keep that going for the next 3 weeks. Reading has to be part of their daily life, plus it can only add to their academic performance.
Through the end of school, please make sure your child has their books, pencils and other materials. They can tend to feel like it’s over but as Yogie Berra says, “It ain’t over til it’s over. Let’s finish strong!
Our final schedule is as follows:
Mon June 15- Foreign Language
Tues - June 16 Social Studies
Wed - June 17 Math
Thursday - June 18 Science
Friday - June 19 ELA
Keep in mind we have full days until the last week of school. Take a look at the district calendar for the exact days.
Until then,
Jim Guerci
5th Grade ELA
