We’ve almost made it!
The upcoming week will be our last for official instruction. You have probably noticed that your daily schedule includes activities for the following week, but that was created before the school made a decision on how to close out the school year. There are no expectations for students to work on those items, but feel free to use them as you see fit. I have cleared our Google sign-up form and have included a couple of special events.
The first is a repeat of last week’s lunch date. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results! Students were very well-mannered and we had wonderful conversations. There was good student and parent feedback, so I made a promise that we would do it again.
I know that it’s impossible for some to attend a meeting in the middle of the day. So, I thought that I would provide another offering. Let’s see if we can pull off a virtual campfire! I will conduct the meeting in my backyard. Rest assured, there is a backup plan if the weather doesn’t cooperate. I make no guarantees that it will go smoothly, but my hope is that it will be a nice evening for first-grade families. I also thought we could have a simple SHOW-and-TELL activity. I had a friend that wanted me to see his room when I stopped by last weekend! This might be just as good. Bring along something that you would like to share. It is not necessary, But I’ll make sure that I have something interesting for you!
Finally, you have been provided with a time to return school materials. You will also want to collect your child’s personal belongings on that day. I have plans to be at school this weekend to organize those things for you. I will place a bag in or near your child’s locker. You will get more specific details next week.
Although this will be your final week of instruction, I promise to provide some closure in my next update. Thank you for your patience and support in the closing months of a unique school year.
