Have a great summer!

It’s hard to believe the school year is almost over.  It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming our students into the classroom. Although no one could have predicted how the school year would end, we must congratulate our students for their resilience and perseverance during this time. As we enter our final week of school, we would like to thank you for a wonderful year and we hope you have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Drive By Goodbye


This Friday, June 26th, teachers will be stationed on the front lawn of Simons Valley School from 11:00AM - 12:00PM.  We welcome you to drive by with your child to wave goodbye to us for the summer.  Please be considerate of current social distancing guidelines and stay in your vehicle and/or six feet away from anyone outside of your family cohort. We look forward to seeing you then!

Food Drive


Simons Valley School will be hosting one last food drive of the year to help support our families. The food drive will be taking place from June 23rd-25th.  Items can be dropped off in the green bins by the bus ramp any time from 9:00AM - 3:00PM. Thank you for supporting our families!

Math


Next week, students will be calculating probability by completing four activities.  They will be creating a tree diagram, shooting hoops with scrap paper, creating various kinds of ice cream combinations, and playing a dice game.

Literacy


Students will be reading two cases from a book entitled You Be The Jury.  After reading each case, students will have to decide if they think the accused is guilty or innocent.  They will have a chance to debate their thoughts with their classmates through Google Classroom.

Science


We will end our year in science by recapping all four of our science topics (Wetlands, Chemistry, Electricity, & Weather) by playing through a trivia game called Kahoot.
