Thanks for a Terrific School Year!

Dear Students,  I wanted to let you know what a terrific year this was for me.  In my 22 years of teaching I do not remember having such a group of sweet and super smart students.  You motivated me from the first week of school back in August to think outside of the box, to reflect on my teaching, and to come up with ways to challenge you each day.  I have watched you all grow as readers and writers as you exceeded my expectations for fourth graders.  I am so proud of each of you the way you devoured book after book and inspired me to try new genres just like I tell you all the time.  I was blown away with your love for writing as you tried each genre: narrative, expository, pen-pal letters, poetry and reports.  Remember to continue reading all summer so that you are ready to share the books you discover with your new teacher.  I look forward to watching you blossom into the best Beauclerc 5th graders.  Have a fantastic summer!
