                    It's hard to believe this is our last classroom blog post for the school year! This will certainly be a year we will all remember. Thank you so much for sharing your students with me this year; I hope you have an amazing summer! I've included some awesome summer learning opportunities below including a full 12 week Virtual Summer Adventure Camp with access to choice boards and 120 e-books. Yearbooks: There are still some yearbooks available for purchase in the office. The cost is $15 and can be paid for with case or a check made out to SJPS. Water Bottles: I always allow students to have a water bottle with them at all times. Since students are not able to drink from the water fountains this year, it is helpful to send your student in with a water bottle each day (they are always welcome to leave it here each night and fill it with the water bottle filler each day).

Chromebook Return: It is time to begin the process of returning Chromebooks, chargers and cases . Your student can begin returning those items to our classroom on Tuesday June 1 and our technology department asks that they are returned no later than Friday June 4. Please stay tuned for more information regarding how to access a Chromebook for summer use. Summer Learning Challenge: Over the summer, students will have access to many of the online learning platforms that we use regularly in class until at least mid-July.

                  Water Bottles: This weather is starting to warm back up...quickly! I always allow students to have a water bottle with them at all times. Since students are not able to drink from the water fountains this year, it is helpful to send your student in with a water bottle each day (they are always welcome to leave it here each night and fill it with the water bottle filler each day). Scholastic Book Order - Orders due online by Thursday May 27: This will be our last Scholastic Book order of the year! Ordering books is completely optional but is a fantastic way to grow your at-home library collection at a low cost and have plenty of books for summer reading. Each book that is ordered helps our classroom to earn free books for our class library and the students LOVE to see what new books we receive each month. If you are ever interested in ordering books as a gift and want me to set them aside for you to pick up, please let m...

                 Links from this week: Many students wanted me to pass along some links from our learning this past week! Museum of Natural Curiosity: We learned about this cool museum during our "Curiosity" P2 lessons this week. It is located in Utah so if you're planning a trip out west at some point, definitely check it out! Every Kid Outdoors: This website goes along with our virtual field trip we went on on Tuesday to the Pictured Rocks! On Monday, I sent home a pass that can be used until the end of August to admit 4th graders and their families (anyone under 16 and up to 3 adults) FREE into national parks across the US! Check out this website for more information including a link called Plan a Trip where you can Find a Park to visit (it is easy to filter by state to see which National Parks you can visit). Charging computers each night : I would appreciate your help in gently reminding your child to have their computer charged and ...
