Hi Parents and Students,
We only have a couple of weeks left! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone, and I will miss this class tremendously. As we come to the end of the school year, it is fun to look back and see how much we have accomplished and how far we have come. Students have done a tremendous job of working hard and owning their learning. We will be starting our last math unit on 3-D objects, finishing up feature articles and summarizing some of the writing we have learned this year, finishing up our lessons on the Constitution, continuing with our Holes books and our skills-based reading groups, and finishing our unit in science on Growing and Changing, just to name a couple things that will keep us busy the rest of the year. Thanks so much for your support this year and especially your gifts this week for teacher appreciation week. I am humbled and blessed by your generosity!
