Thursday, June 13, 2013    11:30am - 12:30pm
Volunteer Brunch - An event to honor all the volunteers who have donated their time and/or talent(s) to help Ainsworth this year. Anything from running a copy to running a math group, and everything in between :)

Thursday, June 13, 2013   12:45-1:30
School-wide Dance - Our student council raises funds every year to put on an end-of-the- year school-wide party on the back field, with a DJ pumping out great songs that make you want to move :)

Friday, June 14, 2013     9:00-10:00
5th grade vs. Staff Annual Kickball game - Weather permitting, any willing 5th grader plays against the Ainsworth staff.  Come join your 4th graders as they cheer from the sidelines.  Who will they root for students or teachers?!?

Friday, June 14, 2013     10:40-11:00
City of Ember - As you all know, we have been working on this play in our classroom for a long time, and are very excited to have a very special private performance for families iIn respect of our actors, please plan on using non-flash photography only, thank you).


It has been an awesome year.  I'm looking forward to a fun & respectful final week in the classroom.  Thank you for all your help encouraging your child to do their best.  Room 8 rocks!

On nights when we don't have a specific math assignment, students are to practice basic math facts for 10 minutes.  This may be accomplished by writing out problems, finding a worksheet online to print, using flashcards, or playing one of the many games on Mrs. Johnson's portaportal.  A parent must note that this work has been done, if tangible proof (problems in their journal/a worksheet) are not available.

Homework for June 10-14, 2013

Each night:

Read for 20 minutes & record

Math practice for 15 minutes

Vocabulary

We are focusing on using the vocabulary acquired this year to write picture books & play scripts.  We will not have a spelling test this week!  Keep up the vocab skills this summer by finding tons of things to read!
