The students are definitely on the countdown for summer holidays!  It seems as though we will not be escaping the heat this busy week.
The students have a field trip to the Summer Solstice on Monday with the students from grades 3-6. It should be a wonderful trip!
Some of our students will also be attending the track and field meet on Tuesday.  If your child is going, please ensure they have a hat, sunscreen, water bottle and appropriate shoes and clothes for the weather and the event.
We have finished our novel "The Story of Helen Keller". The students are busy planning a party to celebrate her life which will take place at the end of this week. We will be playing games and doing activities which focus on gaining information using senses other than sight. We will be highlighting strategies used by blind or visually impaired people to achieve success and independence. The information will be attached to the homework section of the blog shortly. I will also be sending a note home.
We will be reviewing a variety of concepts in math and language this week.
