Crumb Chronicles, Final Issue

Crumb Chronicles
***A Family Newsletter***
June 12, 2013 – Final Issue
Dear Families:

You haven't gotten rid of me, yet . . . here's one more brief newsletter. 


Please read Mrs. Kramer's message at the conclusion of this letter about a summer I.X.L. Math incentive program.  Students may begin to tackle some of those 5th grade objectives that correspond to next year's enVision math curriculum.  They are listed at the beginning of the summer packet that was sent home in your child's report card.  I am also offering my own incentive -- students who complete the summer "Step-Up to 5th grade Math" packet and return it to me the first day of school will receive one more "bow down" in the lunchroom in front of their peers.

I just discovered that I did not send home the information about the King Co. Library Summer Reading Program on the last day.  My apologies.  Please stop by any local branch to get your child started.

Thank you for everything this year -- it's been a lot of fun getting to know parents and students.  I would also like to thank all of you who had an opportunity to volunteer in our class and/or school this year.  We couldn't do any of this without all of the parent support.

All of my former students are welcome to visit their old class website over the summer (as I rebuild it!) to stay sharp on their skills before entering 5th grade.  It's not that far away . . .

Once again, thank you for letting me "borrow" your children.  They lifted my spirits continuously throughout the sometimes dark, wet, and gloomy days we get during a Snoqualmie school year.  Have a wonderful summer . . . I hope that the sun will bless us with its appearance throughout the season!

                                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                       Michael Crumb


Dear Snoqualmie Elementary Families~

      

It is hard to believe that our kindergartners are done for the year and that tomorrow is the last day for 1st - 5th grade. What an amazing school year it has been! Snoqualmie Cougars have worked hard and learned a lot this year. Even though summer vacation begins tomorrow afternoon I would like to offer a challenge to our Cougars. My challenge to all Snoqualmie Elementary students is to keep their math skills sharp by practicing on IXL at least 25 minutes a week during summer vacation. At the beginning of the 2013-14 school year I will be recognizing students that meet the 25min/week goal with a special lunch time treat. Special recognition will be given to the top students in each grade level who go well beyond the 25min/week goal. Click here to login to IXL.

 
Keep reading, practice your math and have a fun, safe, restful summer!

 
Sincerely,

Kerstin Kramer
