Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our annual Field Day is on Friday, June 7. Remember to have your student wear a yellow shirt that day.

If you can send in water and/or Gatorade type drinks for Field Day, please let me know.

We will have an ice cream sundae party on the last day of school and play games. The 2nd grade teachers are providing the refreshments.

In Reading this week we will read about the History of Sunscreen.
•
In Science this week, the students will be comparing different kinds of slime among other investigations.

This week in Math I will introduce 3-digit addition and subtraction to the students and they will also begin making multiplication flash cards.

In Social Studies this week we will learn about the Pledge.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cindy Martie

Quiz on Chapter 12 and Important People in the SOL Test on Monday, June 3, 2019

Attention Parents, Bus forms need to be returned to school if you are making any changes to your child’s bus stop.

If there are no changes, do not send the forms back.

The parents will keep them, so they will know where their child’s bus stop will be next school year.

Things to do:
***Please fill out the green Field Day sheet sent home last week and return. We need to know who will bring a lunch from home, and who will be buying a bagged lunch by this FRIDAY.
***We are collecting donations of small water bottles and juice boxes/pouches for our end of the year ceremony. Please send them in by Field Day at the latest.

***We are also in need of baby wipes, if anyone can contribute.

If you passed the SOL test or have a B or better average for the year, you are exempt from the final exam.

If you are exempt from the final exam, you may return your textbook any time.  Leave it on the back counter above the appropriate block number.

We are coming to the home stretch. Our Science SOL test is tomorrow. For review tonight, please have your child review either the 4 NW booklets that have been sent home or the Study Guide that came home Friday/today. Have them read over the material, reviewing practice questions, vocabulary, and key concepts. Once they have finished, either sign the booklet(s).

We will still be completing some graded assignments between practice, remediation, programs, and other end of the year activities. Our Ceremony will be on Wednesday, June 12th at 10:00. Students do not have to wear anything specific, but from the better end of the closet.

We may need water for field day (June 7th), if anyone can donate. Any left over will be shared on those hot days at the end.

Thanks for all you have done at home to help your child at school.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our annual Field Day is on June 7. Each grade level has been assigned a color to wear. We will be wearing YELLOW t-shirts. IF you have a t-shirt that is primarily yellow but has graphics that will be fine. If you want to purchase a yellow shirt, Michaels has them for $3.33 online on sale from $3.99. The North Suffolk Walmart had v neck yellow shirts in the boys’ dept. for $3.47. I do have a FEW yellow shirts I’ve collected over the years to loan for that day if necessary. Please let me know if you will need to “borrow” one from me. Please send the note for your student’s lunch plans for that day as well as your volunteer form if you plan on helping.

We will review this week in Reading.
•
In Science this week, the students will continue learning about plants and their products with a test on Friday. I will send home the study guide on Tuesday.

This week in Math the students will review for the benchmark test.

In Social Studies this week we will learn about Memorial Day, Independence Day, American Flag, and the bald eagle.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cindy Martie
