it is hard to believe it is almost May and the end of the year is upon us! We have made so many wonderful memories this year from our Candy Land school-wide theme, to STEM & Literacy Nights, Student Leader of the Month Celebrations, WIG parties, our 1st Annual Spelling Bee, and so many more engaging and fun learning activities. Our Shadowlawn Seahawks are currently "showing what they know" on their end of year assessments and we are so proud of all that they have learned and achieved.

Included in this month's newsletter are many important dates for end of year activities. Some grade level specific events may not be on this calendar so be on the lookout for information coming from your child's teacher. Every Thursday we send home our "Thursday Folders" with flyers, permission slips, and other important school communication. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.

We are so grateful for our SLE families and your dedication to supporting your child's education. Thank you for all you do, Shadowlawn is a special community.

Have a wonderful summer!

Our generous neighbors at the Windstar Tennis Club held an equipment drive in honor of several of their members for Shadowlawn & Avalon. Along with some new sports equipment, they raised money to help support our student recreation clubs! Thank you, Windstar Tennis.

Pre-K has been working very hard on preparing for kindergarten. We have been working on letter recognition and letter sounds, counting and number recognition. We are very excited to show our parents how much we improved this year at our concert.

Our kindergarteners were busy making math counters, learning measurements using non standards units and participating in water day by completing their complementary chart. We also started our “ABC countdown” as we are coming close to the final days of the school year. So far, students had the opportunity to bring their favorite stuffed animal to school and play with bubbles. We are excited about the rest of the days of the ABC countdown.

1st grade has been having loads of fun lately! We had a blast at the Naples zoo learning about all different kinds of animals and their habitats. We also celebrated meeting our math and reading WIG goals with a crazy glow party. And, don’t forget we had some flashlight fun where we read our decodable readers in the dark.

Second grade had a great time building fluency for our STAR progress monitoring assessments. Students filled their “tool box” with reading and math strategies.

3rd graders have been having a lot of fun “Racing to the F.A.S.T. Test”. Students have been reviewing all of their reading and math skills with a variety of activities. We are now prepared for the test and know everyone will be a winner!

Third grade had a terrific time visiting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida this month! The fun hands-on activities helped us learn more about the wildlife and vegetation that is a valuable part of our section of the state.

Fourth Graders reviewing for their ELA F.A.S.T. exam with life sized candy land...we love our school theme and are ready to rock this test!

Fifth grade got a taste of middle school life during their field trip to East Naples Middle School! Quickly after they returned to Shadowlawn to have the opportunity to meet with 14 different professionals to learn about the many career opportunities they can pursue! Busy day for our rising 6th graders!

We are excited to be working on our beginners gymnastics unit. The students are very excited to be working on the gymnastics mats! We are practice rolls, flexibility, gymnastic leaps, as well as balance. The students will even be putting together their own routine in class!

Congratulations are in order to 5th grader Olivia who's artwork was on display representing Shadowlawn at the annual Superintendent's Art Show!
