Reminders and Packing Up Belongings

WOW!  I cannot believe that the end of the school year is here.  I cannot believe that these are the last 5 days I will spend with your child as my student and how quickly our class seems to have grown up and progressed.  It feels like we collected supply list items a few weeks ago... 

I would first and foremost like to thank each and every family for sharing their most precious gift with me-- your child.  I have been immersed in love and generosity and been on a special journey with each and every child.  We have laughed together, cried together, learned together, grown together, and loved one another as family and I will never forget the memories that have been created and shared.  I am so proud of the personal progress each student has made and cannot wait to watch them transition through the rest of our school and their lives.  

This week....

• No more reading folders.  I will be collecting the folders to inventory the books.
• Please return your child's literacy bag (and any previously missing items from bags) as soon as possible. 
• Library bags went home today with recycling projects.  The do not need to be returned. 
• PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD/WOULD NOT LIKE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS RETURNED.  Many families do not reuse items from year to year and they can be saved and used in our classroom if unwanted or unneeded.  All items will be returned Friday along with your child's journals, work, etc.
