Congratulations FIFTH GRADERS!

The last day of school is always bittersweet for me.  I’ve fortunate to be able to say that I’ve always LOVED my classes, and this year’s class was no different.  You have some AMAZING children, and I want you all to know how much I’ve enjoyed being your child’s teacher this year.  Terrific students make my job easy!  Have a wonderful summer!

Mrs. Rafferty, Miss O, and I also wanted to thank you all for the kind and generous gifts that you shared with us at the end of the year.  You’ve been so thoughtful to us this year, and we’ve appreciated it each and every day!

We took these photos during our graduation celebration today.  Enjoy!  To save a photo, right click on it when it appears during the slideshow!

Farewell and Hello!

To the graduating class of newly promoted FIFTH GRADERS:

Thank you so much for a wonderful year.  We had a bit of a rushed morning today, so I didn’t get to say all that I usually like to say during our class graduation ceremony.  I’m proud to say that our year finished with me continuing to be able to say that I’ve loved each one of my classes.  We’ve had so many great experiences this year, filled with so many memories.  Your virtual scrapbook reminded me of so many of those: Wassail, Frindle, Dick and Rick Hoyt, Sycamore Day, Number the Stars, light saber duels, and so much more!  In addition to the wonderful virtual scrapbook, please also accept my thanks for the awesome pi tie, the Star Trek teacher bag, the generous gift cards, and the individual gifts that some of you kindly gave me!  Parents, thank you for entrusting me with your children this year; it’s been an honor and a pleasure.  Have a wonderful summer, and good luck at TBS!  Please stay in touch!

To the arriving class of newly promoted FOURTH GRADERS:

Wow, you made it to fourth grade!  Next year, you get to take the responsibility of being the “seniors” of the school!  I can’t wait to meet you (if we haven’t already met), and hope you come to our meet and greet before school starts.  I’ll post a more thorough welcome in August, but for now, take plenty of time to relax, have fun, and READ EVERY SINGLE DAY.  I’d love for you to email me to introduce yourself!  Have a great summer!
