Great Expectations!

It’s time to say goodbye

our year has come to an end.

I’ve made more cherished memories

and many more friends.

I’ve watched your child learn and grow

and change day to day.

I hope that all the things we’ve done

have helped in some small way.

So it’s with happy memories

I sent them out the door,

with great hope and expectations

for what next year holds in store!

Educational Websites to play on the computer for the summer!

Websites we have used this year:

(The students can still use their accounts on these websites over the summer. Their log in information should still be in their notebooks.)

If you do not have a computer in your home, the Swansboro Public Library has computers for public use.

These are some of the word lists we used with the students this year. Please continue practicing them over the summer and encourage your child to practice spelling them as well.

“If you can read it, you can write it!”
