Dear 5-2,     
     It is hard to believe that our year together ends tomorrow. I have such mixed emotions saying good-bye to this very special class. I am joyful because I have seen growth in each of you this year. Many areas of growth are academic, but also new friendships have formed and many students have become more confident and sure of themselves. I am sad as well because this is a class I will never forget. On all of your report cards, I said it was a pleasure to work with  you and I truly mean it. You are amazing kids! Great things are ahead of you and I know you all will have a terrific 6th grade year. 

Please bring a backpack on the last day for the items you'll need to bring home to share with mom and dad. Your report card envelope contains, not only your report card, but the "one book, one school" summer reading book, The Code. Everyone, students and teachers across Lawn Ave. School, will be reading this book this summer. Be sure to do your reading so you aren't left out in the fall. I have read the book already and found it to be an inspiration! Also, with your report card, you will find an letter and packet from the 6th grade teachers. Please read it carefully.

My IXL account will be open for you to use for Summer Math practice until July 8th. After that, your parents may want to get you your own subscription. Please use this tool at least 3x per week. I know it will help you to be successful in 6th grade math.

My last thoughts to you, parents and kids, is to have fun and enjoy the summer! You have worked hard and should be proud of a wonderful year.
Best wishes and please contact me anytime over the summer-
Mrs. Clark
