Dear Families, 

Welcome to June!

As the warm weather approaches and greets us, we are reminded that summer break is just around the corner.

I cannot believe our time together is coming to a close and Chung Stars will soon be fifth graders!

It has been my pleasure to teach and work with all students and their families. We all have learned so much from each other!

In this class update newsletter, you will find important information about our class and the big ideas in our learning.

As always, if you any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or write me a note in your child’s agenda.

Wishing all families a great summer season!

Happy June,

Ms. Chung :)
