 Wow! I can't believe we are already in our last week of school! This year has been so fun, yet has flown by! It has been such a pleasure having each and every one of these students in my classroom, I will greatly miss each of them next year. Just remember to come back and visit any time! I am looking forward to these last few days together - we will have lots of fun.

We do have our last field trip on Tuesday, May 28th! We will cross our fingers it doesn't rain! Please have your child wear comfortable walking shoes and make sure they are dressed for the weather.  We will be eating lunch at Shirley Hills, so no need to pack a lunch.
