Good morning everyone!
What a gorgeous weekend we just had. We hope you took the time to get outside.
We have almost completed all the curriculum planned for this year. You will finish off your final math class tomorrow when you write the unit test.
We wanted to use this extra week for additional learning. As a team we decided on a short science unit on space and a brief language unit on parts of speech. Please check the daily messages to know what the schedule is.
We hope you enjoy this final week of work.

Work that is not completed during class time will need to be completed as homework. Students should put more focus into reading at this time. It is an expectation that students are reading between 30 and 60 minutes per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can clarify and assist.
