Thank you for all of the generous gifts and thoughtful cards given to me on the last few days of the school year. I've read the notes written by the kids in the class gift a few times now, and I'm truly touched by their kind words! The end of the year is always both exciting and strange for me, as I grow to truly care for each and every student in my class. The conclusion of this year was especially poignant for me due to the amount of growth I saw in this crew of students. Despite the craziness at times, and despite the ups and downs, I am so proud and appreciative of our 2018-2019 school year. I can't wait to see all of these guys continue to blossom into the students and people they are capable of being as they continue onto fifth grade and beyond. Please enjoy our (non-copyright-issues, updated) version of the slideshow below, and enjoy your summer!
