Other notes:

Please remember to send in items for our collection for the Hesed House(information came home last week).

Also, during the year I happily share my classroom library collection with the kids with the hope that all of the books will be treated with love and care and brought back to their "home." These are books I have purchased with my own money and would like to keep for next year's class. My books are marked with "Grezlik" along the top. Please check your books piles or shelves, stacks of school things, or under your child's bed for any of my books. Thank you!! Also, if you have any books you would like to donate to our classroom library, that would be a great end of the year gift to our classroom. Be sure to put your child's name in the book as next year's student's get a kick out of seeing "old" 5th graders names in the books.

I am sure I have forgotten something so you will probably be hearing from me again. We have lots of little things to work on in the last 10 or so days of school, so continue helping your child be the best they can be and make responsible decisions with their time as they finish up on a strong note!! Thanks for your continued support at home!!
