thank you

I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for all of the love and support you have given me during this transition time. What an emotional roller coaster but the positive energy everyone has exuded made it much "easier". Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts and cards, it means so much because they clearly had such personal thought behind them.

I am so blessed to have gotten the chance to have you all in my life. Please keep in touch and I will certainly be keeping tabs on my students. :)

Best Wishes!

...there aren't words

There really aren't any words that I have right now to express the range of emotions that I am experiencing.

There is no part of my day that was easy today. It was absolutely the most emotionally draining day I have had in a very long time. I am sitting at my computer trying to think of the words I want to use but they really aren't coming to me.

The promotion I have received is truly an honor but it doesn't make my leaving any easier. I am touched by the well wishes I have received from parents, students, and staff. It will not be easy to leave my students or my PLE family next week.

Please know that my decision did not come easy and that this transition will be a smooth one. We are working diligently to ensure that the changes in the classroom are minimal and that students will continue with the routines and expectations that have become accustomed to.

Spelling This Week....

2nd graders do not have new spelling words this week. There will be no spelling test, as they took their test last week. 

3rd graders were given a new set of words on Monday. They will have their spelling test on Thursday as usual.

Wow!

Students who turned in their Literature Menu projects presented their work to the class today. I am in awe of the creativity and work that was put into many of their projects.

Each student was knowledgeable about their chosen book and personal project. Each student also took a question and answer session from classmates following their presentation. I loved listening to their answers to student questions and seeing the pride and excitement on their faces!

Thank you for continuing to support your child in their education. It is greatly appreciated!

Literature Menu

Please remember that all Literature Menu projects are due at the end of each quarter. The end of the quarter comes before report cards are issued. Please refer to the Broward County School's master calendar to see these dates. 

This project is a requirement and is not optional. Students who did not complete the assignment this week are asked to turn in their assignment on Monday. 

Please click the link below in order to access a hard copy of the menu in case you have misplaced your copy or never received one.

Please be advised, that I will be editing the current menu for 2nd quarter. This above linked document is the correct  reference for 1st quarter. 

Thank you! :)
