Big Wheels

This morning we got to see lots of wheels--including some BIG ones!!! The kids really enjoyed it!

Where did the year go?

It's hard to believe we are actually in the final week of school! Where did the year go? I have truly enjoyed my transition from intermediate to primary, and look forward to continuing this next year. I wish our third graders well as they move on to fourth grade, and I am excited for our second graders to return as the leaders and role models in our class next year!
It has been an exciting year full of changes--full of ups and downs, smiles and tears, but most of all, a lot of learning for all of us (including me!). Thank you to all of you who have helped along the way. Whatever contribution you've made in your child's education (whether it's been time, tears, prayers, money, or brain power) is never wasted!
Enjoy your time off because the new school year will be here faster than this past one flew by! Take time to do the things you love, and spend time with the people you care about. Rest. Relax. Read. Make memories...and cherish the old ones, too.
Thank you for your support  this year, for making my job easier, and for sharing your child with me!

Keep Calm and Bubble On...

It's hard to believe there are only 13 days of school left, and testing week is here already! K-PREP (Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress) tests all students in third grade and above. At the third grade level, Reading and Math are the only subjects assessed. This begins on Wednesday (May 8th). Please encourage your child to take this test seriously by doing his/her best and SHOW WHAT THEY KNOW! Our school was rated a PROFICIENT school this year based on last year's assessment and we want our students to maintain this status with this year's test. To help your child do his/her best, please be sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive on time for school.
We had an assembly on Friday to kick off and motivate our students for testing this week: "Dorothy Takes the KPREP." I posted some pictures below. To watch the entire performance, click here.
P.S. I think the Wicked Witch of the West really isn't so bad after all... :)
