Hello Middle Grades families!

Some of the writing exercises this week were so much fun to read! Your children are creative and crafty and I was reminded when I was reading these exercises why I love teaching them so much.

We had our last tea time of this school year on Friday and had a good time telling jokes. It is so good to see the class laughing.

By now you will have gotten an email from me about having a field day at home for Wednesday. I hope that everyone will be able to engage the whole family in some fun outdoor games, and I encourage you to revisit your childhood and teach some of the field day activities you loved when you were in school. I understand that you might not have the time or energy, and that’s OK. It might be fun, though....

I want to say again how grateful I am that you have all worked so diligently to keep school going. I know you are looking forward to having more time to breathe, and I hope you will all have a good summer.

The Monday packet has a list of summer reading suggestions and practice exercises to help your child be prepared for the next school year. There are also some main lesson pages that I would like for you to make sure are finished. At the start of the next school year, we will assemble and look through our main lesson books. In this way, we can review this past year before moving into our next year’s lessons.

I will not be traveling this summer. If you need me, give me a call. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that at some point soon we can all get together for a picnic!

Blessings!
