For the very last time...hello!
This will be the last blog post. Did I really just say that? This year just can't be over, we still have so much more to learn. I will say, this group learned a TON this year.
Report cards go home tomorrow at our noon dismissal. You will find a copy of one of my favorite poems in the envelope. I wrote it as the comment, but also added a copy for you to frame for your child. A teacher once gave it to me, and I have loved it ever since. Of course it is about BELIEVING. I will always be a phone call, email, or text away. I would LOVE to meet your child for lunch or come to a sporting event to catch up through the years. Please feel free to keep me in your child's lives.
We will NOT be going on the bike ride tomorrow. There is an 80% chance for more rain tomorrow. I didn't tell my kiddos that they could bring their electronics tomorrow, but I encourage them to do so. We will have some time to just enjoy one another in a relaxed environment.
Today, we skyped with Mrs. Umemoto in Texas. It was great to see her and get to say goodbye to her. It was also fun to hear about how her little baby is growing quickly inside her tummy. It was a great computer visit!
Happy Summer Birthday to Alexis. She brought some yummy brownie treats! Yesterday, we had super yummy treats from Elijah and Alyssa. Happy future birthdays to all our summer birthdays!
Evan won the last Purple Hand Cookie today. His peers voted for him due to his sharing of playground balls when he would see a child in need. Great kindness Evan!!! Alyssa and Daniel were once again nominated as well.
Collin and Chloe shared a special fun treat with us this morning. They brought in their little pet guinea pigs. It sure was fun to meet Chubbs, Snoopey, and ???? Ask your child the name of the third one. :0) Thanks for bringing those in!
Lastly, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your most special treasure with me. I have so enjoyed all year with this group. I am so happy to be leaving on a good note at Bitterroot. I will miss seeing them in the hall next year. Thank you also for all of your support. I feel very blessed to know such wonderful, caring families. Please know that I am always here if you need any advise, help, or just want to brag on your kiddo. I will miss every single one of you, especially your kids!
Enjoy your summer! Read, read, read, and travel!
Love,
Ms. Erickson
P.S.-BELIEVE!!!!
