I write this post as my students are writing their last Friday Letter Home to their parents. It's has been an absolutely fantastic year and I am so thankful that I was able to work with such a wonderful group of young people. I have them watched them grow into fully independent learners who will always push themselves to do their best.
Last night at our graduation ceremony, I asked them to remember two things from fifth grade: The first was to remember that "you can do anything you set your mind to!" The students learned this firsthand during our Wax Museum. The second thing is a quote from our favorite read aloud book called "Wonder." That quote is to be "kinder than is necessary." I share those with you because they are life lessons and are important for everyone, not just my students this year.
Best of luck, enjoy your summer, and we'll be back next fall with a new round of entries from new students.
