Last Day!

Dear Families,

I can’t believe the school year is over! Wow! This week, we went to Almaden Lake Park on Monday. The students took the bus to the Children’s Discovery Museum and then we rode the light rail to Almaden. Many students had never been on a train before, so it was a fun experience! We walked to Almaden Lake Park, where they have huge play structures, water play areas, and picnic areas! The students had a great time playing and we even had popsicles! Unfortunately, the bus was 45 minutes late picking us up, so I apologize for any inconvenience that caused!

On Tuesday, we had the Talent Show. Good job to Anna who performed with two other girls a dance from the movie, Hairspray! It was very cute! The teachers also performed a dance medley of High School Musical! In the afternoon, we wrote our last entry in our journals.

Wednesday was our last day to finish our science books on Healthy foods. We learned about all the food groups and what we should be eating every meal. We also cleaned up our classroom and took everything home. I hope you enjoyed all of the projects that your child worked on this year. It was a lot of stuff!

Today was Breakfast and a Book! We had donuts and juice for breakfast, and then we went to different classrooms to read books.

It is always hard to say goodbye to all my students at the end of each year. I have seen your children grow and learn so much over the year and I am so proud of them for their hard work. I would appreciate it if you kept in touch with me from time to time to let me know how your children are doing.

My present to the students is a music CD to remember all of our first grade songs! Enjoy the music! In addition, I would like to especially thank Aiko’s mom, Anna’s mom, Kevin’s mom, and Nasrin’s mom for coming every Friday afternoon for an hour to prepare homework packets, centers folders, spelling, vocabulary, and Friday folders! I would also like to thank Brian’s mom, David’s mom, and Yuna’s mom for coming every Monday afternoon to help in computer lab. Everyone else, thank you for all of your support this year! Many of you came on field trips, gave classroom donations, and provided supplies for our class. I have made a personalized notepad from our classroom for all of you to say thank you for a wonderful year!

I will see some of you at my wedding on June 21st! Yay! If you are traveling and I don’t see you, have a wonderful summer! Please keep in touch!
