I just wanted to sincerely thank you for an amazing year! I love your kids so much and am sad to see them go. They are ready to be 4th graders though! Thank you for your kindness, help in the classroom, and support. It makes a huge difference when we have the love and support of parents. It’s been so fun to see the huge growth and milestones each student has made this year. I hope you have seen it as well.
There will not be homework this week, but please remember that nightly reading is not homework, it’s bonus time and something I hope you’ll do forever and ever!
I want to thank you for all of the kind words, notes, and fun stuff the kids brought in for teacher appreciation. You all have been so supportive of our class and I appreciate it!

It’s time to get started with our end of year SAGE testing. I really want to make sure your children are well rested and full with a BIG, yummy breakfast on these testing dates. Also, please make sure your children are here and are ON TIME these days! We want them to be as successful as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Also, research shows that students are calmer and focus better when they chew peppermint gum during tests. So, I will be giving peppermint gum to the students during each session. If you do not want your child to have gum, please contact me and let me know. Thanks so much for all you do!

Thank You to all of those who are willing to bring your kids to the Gala on Monday. I really appreciate your support with this. I’m excited to hear them sing. Remember, the students need to be at the Comfort Suites Hotel (2250 S 1200 W Ogden) by 6:15 and be picked up at 7:00. POQA will be serving PIZZA to the students that night.
POQA is also needing a couple of parent volunteers to supervise the kids from 6:00-7:00 that night. It will count as your volunteer hours plus you can eat pizza too! Let me know if you would be willing to help out with this.
We are really working hard to prepare for SAGE testing and getting ready to be 4th graders! It is making me sad to know I won’t be with these amazing kids much longer. They have grown so much these past few months and it’s fun to watch.
