Five weeks left! This makes your kindergarten teacher very sad! I have thoroughly enjoyed your children, and am SO proud of how much they have grown this year. Even though I know they are ready for 1st grade, it will be hard to say goodbye. Thank you for allowing me the chance to be a small part of their lives. You co-teachers (many of you first timers!) have done an AMAZING job this year!


Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! 

-Psalm 127:3-5


Math
