May 6 -May 10th

Where has the time gone. It is so hard for me to believe that we are  quickly winding down the year. There is always so much going on during this time that it seems like the time  goes so fast. I want  each of you to know what a blessing it has been for me to teach your child. Thank you so much for entrusting me with one of your most treasured possessions.  It has been such a wonderful year and have a special place in my heart for each and every one of them. I hope that they will stay in touch with me.

The students have been working hard on their biography projects. Many of the students are in the process of completing  their research and are beginning to make their posters and work on their speech. Once they have completed those things, they will work on a Voki ( an awesome  technology resource that will allow them a place to record their speech.  Please plan to join us for our wax museum. It will be held from 8:30 - 10:30 on May 17. You may come at anytime during those 2 hours.
