See you in September!

Wow! Hard to believe but another school year is over! It has been a great year and I will always remember the joy and fun we had as a class. Looking back at the third grade portfolios, it was evident that there was growth in all our learners. Most importantly, there was a sense of friendship and community in our class throughout the year. This class was a favorite of many teachers, especially this one. To quote another Shakespeare play, "Parting is such sweet sorrow". Have the best summer!

Hooray!!!!

The Shakespeare Performance was quite simply, perfect! Everyone remembered their lines and had fun. The performances were spot on! The audience laughed at all the right parts and talk has begun about which Shakespeare text will be performed next.
Bravo!

The play is here! Your child will recieve a t-shirt as part of his/ her costume tomorrow. There is no other item needed for costumes. The class has worked very hard and their rehearsals have been strong. Please make sure you arrive promptly @1:30. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
