Good Afternoon Wawaloam School Families,
I hope our Grade 2 students and chaperones had a wonderful
day at the zoo today! The weather was absolutely perfect! I am looking forward
to seeing the Animal Research Projects that develop as a result of this visit!
They are always so creative and full of detail and extra effort! This trip
aligns with the Common Core State Standards that fall under “Research to Build
and Present Knowledge”. Thank you Mrs. Levett for sharing evidence that a fun day is under way!
Our Grade 2 Student Leaders have been working nicely with
Mrs. Curry to recognize and acknowledge their peers for making Respectful,
Responsible and Safe choices. Students have been checking in at the office in
the morning, putting on their Student Leader vests and giving out blue tickets
to fellow Grade 2 classmates for the past month. We are in the trial phase to
work out the kinks and have this program in full swing next year. This week, we
raffled off 4 Wawaloam School T-Shirts to celebrate those positive choices in
our school.
It is hard to believe our Grade 2 students will be on their way
to Metcalf in a few short weeks! They will be missed terribly! They have helped
me all year long with announcements and have been the role models for expected
behavior! The time has gone by very quickly, this will be the first group that
was here at Wawaloam for Kindergarten! I wish nothing but the best for each one
of you! You will be in very good hands with Mrs. Almonte and Mrs. Fish! They
are ready and waiting for you J
I have noticed a big change in Grade 1 as well! Each day
that passes you appear more and more as Grade 2 students! You are ready!! I am
very impressed with the reading, writing and math skills you have secured this
year! I hope you will take advantage of our summer reading incentives which we
will tell you about in a couple of weeks!
Next week, Kindergarten will go to South County Museum on
Wednesday! I am hoping to tag along with the morning group….we will see how the
week unfolds. I am so proud of all of our students and I am looking forward to
the end of the year Kindergarten Celebration!
The end of this year will bring mixed emotions as we have 3
retirements at Wawaloam. At the end of this year we will lose 3 devoted and
dedicated individuals. Mrs. Rotelli, Mrs. Gaulin and Mrs. Zannelli will be
starting their next chapter. Mrs.
Rotelli is a Grade 1 teacher, Mrs. Gaulin teaches Grade 2 and Mrs. Zannelli was
a teacher assistant here for many years and is ending her career over at
Lineham School. I hope they will continue to somehow stay connected to our
school as many retirees do! Once you have been part of the Wawaloam Community,
you will forever have a special place here……and these are 3 very special
individuals. Please feel free to write them a note or a memory or have your
child draw a picture commemorating the difference they have made here.
We are in the final stages of drafting our School
Improvement Plan for next year. Your input is needed. If you have any
suggestions, ideas for making our school the best it can “bee” please drop me a
line or two, your opinion is essential…this is our school : Melissa_marino@ewg.k12.ri.us
Hope to see some of you at the last PTA meeting for this
school year on Thursday June 5 at 6:30 at Wawaloam School!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Melissa Marino
