Welcome to ***** Summer News and Highlights
All students are reminded to complete their summer math packets. Summer math is assigned for the same reason as summer reading...to retain and to strengthen your skills. Summer math packets should be completed on a weekly basis so that you practice regularly. They should take you about 10-15 minutes a week to complete. Here's a suggestion: choose one day (example: Monday mornings...) to sit down for ten minutes and get it done. Keeping to a schedule may help you remember to do it regularly. I am looking forward to seeing what you've completed when we return in September.
Another Math Reminder: You may access your math textbook on-line at my.hrw.com Keep up your skills by taking an on-line quiz and do some of the other activities.
Reading: Please refer to Mrs. Morelli's book list for the required reading for incoming 6th graders. And, remember to:
What are Ollie's summer plans? Ollie and Mrs. Garrity have big plans this summer. Last year, Ollie and Mrs. Garrity could be seen all around Kenmore riding the bicycle together. Both plan to give it another try this summer, since they last summer was such a success! Ollie and Mrs. Garrity also plan to go on a few picnics and maybe even get Ollie to splash in the water; he's not much for swimming, yet! Stay tuned for some fun Ollie stories this fall. And, take some pictures of YOUR pet for our "Pet Place" Photo Gallery in the classroom.
