PERSONAL NOTE:

As some of you have heard, this will be my last week of Student Teaching.  Friday, the 20^th, will be my last day.  I want to thank you for sharing your children with me these past few months.  They have made this experience so valuable for me.  I have learned so much from them.  I also appreciate your participation.  I could not have asked for a better group of students or parents!
