Spring Fever

We have around 30 days of school left. I honestly cannot believe it. Where has the year gone?!?! It is such a bittersweet time for me. We all are excited for summer and its activities, however the thought of saying "good-bye" to these 28 students breaks my heart. It is truly a fabulous group of kids.

Spring fever has officially set in, however. Most of the fourth graders have become very "comfortable" and seem to be forgetting some basic manners, rules, expectations, etc. We have had several class meetings recently. If you could reiterate the importance of having a cooperative, considerate, and courteous behavior with your child, it would be greatly appreciated. I want to end the year on a positive, enjoyable note, which requires respectful behavior by all.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Recorder Concert

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, siblings, etc. that attended our recorder concert. It was sure a fabulous turnout! The fourth graders worked very hard, and I know your support meant so much to them. Thank you so much!
