Summer is Here!!!

As I sit here today in an empty classroom, I am having time to reflect on just what a fabulous year this has been.  We have learned so much and come so far from where we were on that first day of school.  Every single child has made astonishing academic progress and their love for learning has grown.  They each have become a child who asks inquisitive questions and takes the time to defend their thinking.  There have been frustrations and breakthroughs, some tears and lots of giggles, and new friendships that were formed.  This last week there have been smiles, hugs, stories shared, and even a few tears shed as we had to leave each other and move on to the next chapter.  I feel honored to have gotten to know your precious kiddos.  They are just so unique and special.  They each made my job interesting and fun every day. Thanks again for entrusting your child to me daily.  I love your kids and feel blessed that I got to be apart of their educational journey. Have a fabulous fun filled summer!  You guys deserve it. :-) 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Monk

Last Day of 1st grade

Always have to have that silly picture!

All packed up and ready for a fun filled summer.
