KINDERGARTEN
Mrs. Cassady, Mrs. Fenderson, Mrs. Lezeau

Dear Parents,
As school comes to an end, once again we thank you for all your help and cooperation in making this school year
successful and productive. We have enjoyed your children and thank you for sharing them with us.

FIRST GRADE
Mrs. Newman, Mrs. McGee, Mr. McGee

Happy May! Our swimming lessons at the Y.M.C.A. have been wonderful. The final lesson is Wednesday, May 7th.

Thank you all for all the home reading and keeping up the bedtime stories! There are great Summer School programs for your child in June and July.

SECOND GRADE
Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Poynter, Mrs. Spillman

Second graders are working hard to polish up their math facts. Please practice at home! If your student does not know doubles, 2+2 through 9+9 automatically, that is a MUST before 3rd grade. Also, practice skip counting by different numbers, by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 10's, 11's.

Field trips to the Highland Nature Center and YMCA are upcoming. Look for permission slips.

THIRD GRADE
Ms. Bakke, Mr. Lee

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our parents for a good year. We appreciated your support for your child’s education. We wish you a wonderful summer and we enjoy seeing you next fall. Don’t forget about our Open House Extravaganza on May 8th at 5:30.

FOURTH GRADE
Mrs. Bergmann, Mr. McCrady

We’re just about there! 4th grade experience becomes memory – we’ve groaned and grown and look to the challenges of our future, better equipped by our 4th grade experience.

Please attend and celebrate this with us at our open house EXTRAVAGANZA May 8th. The last weeks of school and throughout the summer 4th graders will be best prepared for 5th grade by continuing their daily reading and math facts practice. Journal writing over the summer is another great habit to encourage.

Thank you for entrusting yours to us – we look forward to seeing them as the top M.V. Miner models for all the other students as 5th graders next year!

FIFTH GRADE
Mr. Helmken, Mrs. Vickerman, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Ramsey
Hello parents and families,
This is a busy time of year. The fifth graders are preparing for the next chapter of their school careers. Remember to bring back your Mile High Middle School or Granite Mountain Middle School registration forms. These were due on the 28th of April. Also, we will be having growth and development class the week of May 5. Please bring back your
permission slips for that. We will also be having a fourth and fifth grade AR celebration for those who make their AR goals this quarter on Friday, May 16. The classes will be going to watch the new Narnia movie at the movie theater.

Keep going through your child's backpack for other important information regarding any upcoming events, field trips, or other end of the year activities. Thank you!
