Can you believe we are down to our last 2 weeks!? I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing you all on June 3rd for the materials pick-up/drop-off! I've been missing our class so much!
Please make sure to sign up for a final one-to-one conference (required) on either Tuesday June 2 or Wednesday June 3rd. Please sign up for a time slot here (pass code is: HASSENGER): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b49afa82aa4fa7-talk6
Mrs. Bawk' blog is FULL of a lot of important pieces of information this week; below are a few tidbits (you can view her full blog post for this week HERE):
Material Pick-Up/Drop-Off
As we wrap-up the 2019-2020 school year, we will begin preparing our classrooms for summer. This includes packaging up any personal items that may have been left by students on March 13th, including yearbooks, Bear Tracks, and Bear Wear orders. In addition, it will be important to collect media center materials that were sent home with students prior to the shutdown. Please plan to drive through our school’s main office parking lot on June 3rd according to the schedule and map that will be shared in next week’s blog post.
Items to be returned to your family will be placed in the trunk or back seat in order to adhere with social distancing guidelines. Please remember that everyone must stay in their vehicles to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.

May 25-29 Week at a Glance: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_kXZUPhpbgDdMT3JLBEfK2ifgydHzqTJKS0XflpbzIw/edit?usp=sharing
This week's learning standard will focus on writing. Students will be constructing one informational writing piece through the week. No research will need to be done...they will be writing on a topic of their choice, and it should be something they already know well.
