At the end of the day yesterday, I told the class that they had five minutes left of grade one and that they should pat themselves on the back for a great year. One of the students said, "aww, I wish grade one would last forever!".
It wasn't perfect (nothing is!), but it really has been an amazing year. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching your children - it truly has been a pleasure watching them grow this year, and I am looking forward to seeing them out on the yard and in the hallways and watching them get so big and tall in Grade 2!
Thank you for the gifts, the cards, the warm wishes in person and in writing, and the support that you have given all year long.
Mme Tessmann and I are lucky teachers, that's for sure!
We both thank you.
P.S.
Grade 1s: Don't forget to read and write as much as possible (without skipping too much summer fun of course)! Use your dictionaries, journals, and materials to keep practicing your skills! Bonnes vacances et bonne chance en deuxième année!
Parents: I hope you get a chance to look at your child's time capsule so they can show you how far they have come since the beginning of grade 1! Also, I have uploaded some more pictures on photobucket so make sure you check them out!
Have a fantastic summer!
