"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go." Dr. Seuss

I can't believe we've reached the end of the school year.  It is so bittersweet!  I am eternally grateful to my students and parents who made this such an unforgettable year.  I will miss each of you and hope that you'll stay in touch over the summer and in the future.


Have a wonderful summer!

"Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved,
To have thought,
To have done..."
-  Matthew Arnold


We spent the morning practicing for our upcoming performance of "Spaced Out."  I can't wait for parents to see the show next Wednesday morning, the 15th, at 9am. It's such fun!  

We solved number stories involving multiples of 10 today.  Students used a map showing the masses of adult North American birds to solve word problems.  Other math lessons this week include using mental math to multiply problems involving larger factors, exploring elapsed time and practicing partial products using partitioned rectangles.  Students will be given a Home Link each night. 

Our spelling rule this week involves adding more than one suffix to a word.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

Our class has won the Box Top challenge!!!  Thank you to all that participated this year.  We will see a movie with popcorn one day before school ends.  :)

Have a wonderful week!
