Each shape was submitted in with zeal and pride. The students increased their reading stamina and explored different genres of literature. I was pleased to hear them offer book recommendations to each other. Dressing as their favorite character was a memorable way for the students to share their experience with the FA community. This project reinforced their ability to read independently. I'm sure they will continue to nurture their love for books. It is hard to believe that there are only a few days left of school. We have several exciting activities so that the children may enjoy each others' company before the summer vacation. We look forward to the 8th grade Carnival day on Monday and our final field trip on Tuesday. Our last day will include outdoor free time with K-2, crafts and a picnic lunch. We will then proceed to the Carousel Skating rink for an afternoon of roller skating! Enjoy your weekend Seema Curriculum HighlightsMathematics
