In the Mail

It took two long afternoons, and two evenings to get the job completed, and today it is official! The letters are in the mail!! 

I am sending a letter to all 54 of my (now) fifth grade students. With the mail system in place at school, the letters should start arriving on Wednesday or Thuraday.

So excited, knowing how much fun it is to get friendly mail!!! 

the last day

Our last day of school was a big one ... filled with taking down the room and putting things away for the summer ... being invited to pick out a book donated by PTO ...

 Next, we visited Lost and Found. There were several students who insisted they had not lost anything ... (the mom in me was pleased when) items found their owners ...

After lunch, we were off to Trimble Park (aka "Tank Park"). There was so much energy and excitement about it being "the last day", and there were so many things to share with our friends, we put the energy to good use.

Thank you for a fabulous school year!! We are so proud of these students we call "our kids". They grew, matured, learned, and hold a piece of our hearts. Happy Summer and safe travels in all of your adventures!! With love always ...

After the Book Breakfast

After the Book Breakfast, between the end of the year survey and brochures for next year's fourth graders, students wanted time to read their friend's books and the books from friends in "the other class". So Mr. Greninger and Ms. Leom took their classes back to the Elementary Courtyard to read each other's books. It was fun to watch them sit, read, and discuss the stories, and the details!

What a beautiful day to be outside and enjoying stories by our creative and talented friends!!

Reading Buddies

On Tuesday May 26th, Ms. Leom's fourth grade homeroom said good-bye to our Kindergarten Reading Buddies in Mrs. Stuckmayer's classroom. We went outside, in the front of the elementary, and we added "art" using sidewalk chalk.

What a great year spending time with new friends!!
