Thank You

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of our Room 21 families. You guys made me feel so supported this year. I couldn't have asked for a better group of students or a nicer bunch of families. I wish all of you the best over the summer and in the coming year. For the record, I would welcome visits from former students at any time.

Last Week of Sixth Grade!

Dear Room 21 Families,

This is it! The last week of school. Our last day of school is this Friday, June 23rd. 

The sixth grade will have a graduation ceremony on Friday at 10:15. Parents are welcome to attend. There will be a reception immediately following the ceremony. 

Dismissal on Friday is at 11:45.

Finish Strong

Hey Room 21 Families,

We are just a couple of weeks away from the end of the school year, but we are not quite done yet. We have a number of students who still need to turn in their persuasive letter for Reading. If you haven't heard about this assignment, take a moment to check with your student and see if they are done.

Next week, we'll be starting a small project on Shakespeare. Each student will choose a monologue or a sonnet by Shakespeare and will decode and present it.

Here are some upcoming dates to keep in mind:

• All library books are due by tomorrow, 6/12.
• Our class will be taking the Easy CBM math test on Tuesday and the SRI lexile test on Wednesday.
• Our class walked the most laps in this year's Walk-a-thon and earned an ice cream party, which will happen on Friday, 6/16.
• Intermediate grade Field Day is on Monday, 6/19.
• We have our swim party on Thursday, 6/22 at Inis Arden pool; if you haven't signed the permission form for this, please do.
• Our last day of school will be Friday, 6/23.

Hope you are enjoying this lovely early summer weekend.

Moving Up Info

Hey Room 21 Families,

I mentioned this last week, but I wanted to make sure you were all aware of tonight's information session. Here's a letter from our counselor, Mrs. Anderton:

Dear 6th Grade Families!
We are excited to invite you and your 6th grade student to Echo Lake’s first annual ​Move Up Night​! We will have a panel of freshmen and sophomores from Shorewood High School speaking about their experiences at Einstein - strategies they used to prepare themselves for high school, things they wish they'd done differently, as well as answering questions your students prepare in advance. We hope the event will foster a sense of perspective and encourage long-term goal setting for your student.
Please join us ​June 8th from 6pm-7pm in the Echo Lake library​. If you are unavailable, your 6th grader is welcome to come on their own. Please contact me with any questions and we look forward to seeing you on the 8th!
Best,
Cher Anderton
