We made it!
Don't forget materials drop-off/pick-up at Brass Castle today from 12:00 to 3:00. It has been a pleasure and an honor to be your teacher this year. Keep reading books that you love and keep writing your stories. All the best as you continue your journey to Middle School. Happy summer!
Love~

Good Morning! I hope to see you at the Middle School Zoom meeting today. Did you go on a Poetry Walk this weekend? If not, today would be a great day to do so. Please bring something that you have written to share at our final Zoom class meeting tomorrow. Also, pets are welcome to attend; be prepared to tell us something about your pet. Some of us don't have pets, but we will meet with our class one more time tomorrow with one more writing activity. See you soon!

Also, remember to create a picture for the retiring teachers and attend the Middle School Q & A on Monday. Have a nice weekend!!
