Wow, Thanks For The Great Surprise!

Thank you very much for the nice surprise! You are very thoughtful! Thank you also for the gifts and the cards that your children wrote with such nice sentiments-your sentiments and your parents' sentiments were truly meaningful to me as well-what a blessing! Thank you again for the thoughtfulness. It has been a pleasure teaming with you this year for your child's educational experiences. I will treasure the time and memories. Thank you again. Enjoy your summer! 

Yea! FCAT Reading Scores Arrived!

Your child should have told you about his/her scores in the reading portion. We have not received individualized information as of yet. Additional information will be provided when it is received. You should be very proud of your children as they worked very hard this year and have learned a great deal of reading strategies and have explored many genres. Most importantly, they have developed a love and interest of reading, which will put them on the road to being life-long readers and learners! Keep up the good work and continue reading this summer. Now is the time to explore more interests! :)

Happy Mother's Day, Tomorrow!

Enjoy your day! Here's some local information:

• Borders is having a free craft day today for kids to make Mother's Day gifts
• Biscayne National Park is having their final FREE Family Fun Fest until next year

See student site for Earth Hour events in Miami! Read the Earth Hour packet and word puzzles with your child. Have fun. :) This is the 2nd time the world has participated in this event! :)

Friday is Worm Day!

Thank you for participating! It was dirtlightful!

This year's group of students have expressed an interest in worms! Yes, worms. I purchased a worm viewer and will fill it with worms for observations. How delightful! If you'd like to add to the occasion, we could use gummy worms and some chocolate cookies to make dirt cups. Yum. Cool Whip is always a fun addition. We will observe worms, read about worms, and read the tale called, National Worm Day. Thanks for your support and humor in our festivities. :)

If you experience difficulties, you can search the home page by state, city, school, and teacher. You will notice that the spending of monies is very transparent. Your support in the enhancement of your child's educational experiences is truly appreciated.

Thank you, Aaron's Family, for adopting the classroom and helping to make it stronger!
