Last two days of school...

I can't believe we only have two days left.  This year has flown by! 
 
We will be spending the next two days working on our memory books, having our talent show, playing some minute to win it games, and just enjoying our last two days together.  Please remember, students do not need their lunch on our last day, Tuesday!  We will be having a hotdog, chips, and watermelon lunch in our classroom!
 
Please remember, I will be sending home summer packets on the last day!  This will come home with their end of year "gift bag" filled with some other special goodies!  Report cards will also be in the bags!
 
With this being the last post I make for our 2015-2016 school year, there are some things I wanted to say.
 
THANK YOU!  You have trusted me with your most prized possessions.  I have loved these students like my own children.  I have treated them like I would my own children.  I have not only tried to teach them the curriculum but also life lessons.  I hope I have instilled and reinforced the very same values you have taught them.  We are respectful, humble, responsible, and caring.  We set goals and strive to achieve them.  We are a family.  We have laughed together, cried together, and shared many memories.  They know that I'm hard on them because I know what they are capable of doing.  They know I discipline them because I love them.  They know I have worked hard to not only teach them but make learning fun. 
 
As parents, you have supported your children and myself to make this the most successful year ever.  I know that your hard work and dedication as parents are what makes these kids so wonderful.  I am grateful for another great year of awesome families.  Please take care and make sure they stop by and visit me next year! 
 
Have a wonderful summer!  You all deserve it!
 
Love,
Mrs. McKinney :)
