Hello Fantastic Families,
It is absolutely shocking that we are here at the last week of our school year. We will finish off the year with a week of STEAM design challenges, friendship activities, school celebrations, and our class presentations. In addition, I have one last bit of homework for you and your child to complete:
Summer Learning Plan
Homework for our last week of school
What a wonderful school year it has been. Now summer is here and days drift by with less active learning. Remember, it is incredibly important to keep reading, writing, and practicing math during the summer months.
This week it is your homework to create a summer learning contract with your parents. The contract should provide a concrete plan for continued learning throughout the summer. The contract can be created in whatever form you prefer but must be signed by both parent and child. It may include things like: camps, field trips to local natural/historical sites, travel journals and photo-journals, daily family reading times, trips to the library, math practice and any of other innumerable learning experiences.
The contract should be turned in on Thursday June 9th. It will be returned to you for use this summer.
A (semi) wise teacher once said, “The whole world is a child’s best and most exciting homework.”
Dancefest
Send in a hand towel with your child’s name on the tag as soon as possible to use as a prop for our dance. On the day of Dancefest, June 8th, have your child wear Hawaiian/tropical print clothing. Kindergarten dancing begins at 12:30 with the rest of the grades sequentially dancing thereafter. The dancing follows an all school picnic.
Summer Birthdays and Friendship day
We will celebrate all our summer birthdays with our usual silly celebration. Let’s hold off on the treats for this day as there will be lots of little goodies coming home because it’s…..Friendship Day!
To celebrate the friendships we’ve made, maintained, and grown this year we will be doing a series of fun friendship activities. Please send in 24 tokens of some kind to be distributed to the class. These can be homemade, bought, written, drawn….whatever you’d like. No treats please.

Best,
Andrew Smith
Teacher, Del Mar Heights School
