How quickly the time flies...

Thank you for all of your thoughts, gifts, and sentiments. The time has passed quickly. It was a pleasure working with you and your children. I look forward to hearing from them as they venture into new things. Thank you again for your support and have an enjoyable summer.

Here are some summer links:

This Friday is First Friday again at the Museum of Science

This Saturday the History Museum is celebrating Florida's 500th Birthday! Print the worksheets and learn about Florida's history-a GREAT springboard into 4th grade!

FCAT IS HERE!

Thank you for all of the support in having your child complete the Reading Plus lessons (60), along with FCAT Explorer's 12 planets. Reading Plus will continue to be available throughout the summer.

Remember that students who read 30 minutes daily for pleasure, read over one million words per year and elevate their standardized test scores. Getting a good night's sleep and eating a healthy breakfast also increases test scores.

Students are more than welcome to bring gum for testing. :)

Hi Parents,

Thank you:

  • for all of the wonderful Valentine's Day contributions and throughout the year. 
  • to the many of you who've sent in copy paper for the school. 
  • to those who have sent soap-especially NON-antibacterial-for classroom use.
  • for ensuring that your children are using Reading Plus (50) and FCAT Explorer (12)
  • for checking the student blog for links and local activities to enhance learning.
  • for reading with your child and providing literary experiences-it's TOTALLY noticeable.

Getting Ready for a Full Week!

Thank you for your contributions to the party and to the Oreo Pie activity. We still need 2 mixing bowls and 2 large spoons for mixing. The students are excited and want to prepare one for you at home. :) Wednesday is Field Day and Thursday is pajama, Polar Express, and party day. Thank you again for your support and contributions to our classroom. Enjoy your break with your children. :)

Thank you, Parents for sharing your cultures!

We had a wonderful time discovering each others cultures and "traveling" around the world! It is very difficult to tell who enjoyed the experience-the students, or myself? Thank you again for being supportive to the classroom learning environment and your child's education. :)

Thank you again for sharing

Thanks for all of you efforts sharing your culture, food, artifacts, and family stories. The students have greatly taken an interest in cultures and foods. If you would like to share more, our class will be celebrating cultures on Wednesday. Thank you again to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. We've learned a lot. :)

Thank you for everything!

Thank you for your support in our classroom. We had a nice variety of treats.

Thank you for the shovel and plants. We've weeded, added soil, and planted our first seeds-cucumbers. Here's hoping for a nice, healthy harvest!

We're studying matter, the periodic table of elements (thank you for the flash cards), physical and chemical changes, and multiplication!

We're finishing our first book on the list, 14 Cows for America. You can order, So You Want To Be President, from Scholastic in paperback at a fraction of the price and have it delivered to school for free! Moonshot and A Cricket in Time Square are the other books on the school supply list.

The students love learning new things, which makes it a pleasure to teach them.

Again, I thank you for all of your contributions and support. Your faithfulness to your child's academic career is appreciated. It is a pleasure working with you in the education of your child.
