End of the Year!

It's hard to believe it's that time. Just a few reminders:

1. 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!!

2. Usborne Book Fair May 14th

3. Field day-May 15 wear sunscreen, bring a hat, water bottle, and sunglasses

4. Send in any school books that your child needs to turn back in to school. They all have a hard back parent handbook at home, it is called The Student Math Handbook, it is the one that was sent home at the beginning of the year. All library books due May 8th. Do not worry if you have gotten an email from the library about overdue books. We are still collecting! :)

5. If your child will not be here any of the last days of school, please send in a self addressed stamped envelope so that I can mail the report card home.

6. Our WAX MUSEUM self portraits will be coming home SOON!!! Hang them in your home and follow these PARENT directions (scroll down) for viewing on your smart phone or tablet to see a surprise we made for you, family and friends!

7.  Here are a few Summer Links that I will show the class.

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL:
Bring a book from home each day, our classroom books will be packed up and the library will be closed.

It has been a wonderful year! Thank you so much for sharing your children with me. Have an amazing, restful, memory filled summer! A poem just for you:

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.
