Have a wonderful summer!!

I give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give him back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than he was then.

Although he would have attained this growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch his personality unfold day by day and marvel at this splendid miracle of development.

I give him back reluctantly, for having spent many months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we will always retain a little of each other.

We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year.

But give him back I must.

Love,

Mrs. C.

The End is Near!

We will be bringing home a little each day from today until the last day. Please help the kids remember to clean out back packs every night!!

From the Dolphin Echo:

Testing is over and the 4th graders did a wonderful job piloting the computer based program. It’s hard to believe our kids are nearing the end of their days in elementary school. 4th graders will be ending the year with a study of Motion and Design in science and a Geometry unit in math. May 16th the students will have a celebration walk down the halls of their school as the children in all of the other grade levels line the walls and cheer for us “Moving on Up to be a Buc”! This will be the kick off for our school’s Field Day. Our end of the year class party will be May 21st, so please contact your room parent if you can help. Look for information to come home about summer programs and reading lists, it is so important for the kids to keep enjoying books over the summer. Have a wonderful vacation and thank you for sharing your children with us.

Have a great weekend!
