Summer Fun

I will try to post a few things during the summer so the students can see what a teacher does with free time. (I'm hoping for a little anyway) If you are comfortable doing so, you may let your child post comments to my posts and tell me what they are up to as well. 



This is me taking my first English riding lesson from my daughter Elyse. I loved the English saddle!

 The horse's name is Twister.

This one is a video!

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Wow! I have the most incredible job. Being able to have a front row seat in the life of a first grader is simply amazing. They have all blossomed so much this year, and I can bear witness to it all! I want to thank all of my parents for supporting your child through this very critical year of learning. Also, thank you for the gift card! What a truly wonderful idea. I see shopping on my honeymoon in my future!

 Here are a few photos from our last day together. I will remember you always!!

Kids Who Care

The students in our class donated so many cans we were able to go on a parade up to the red tubs in the front hallway. Way to go Smileys!

Spirit Festival

The Spirit Festival is this Saturday, the 19th. There is a parade beginning at Sperring at 9:00a.m. If you and your child wish to participate in the parade, just park at Kennerly and catch the shuttle bus over to Sperring a few minutes before 9:00a.m. We walk all the way to the high school and then congregate in front of the grandstand. There is a ribbon cutting ceremony and then the festival is officially open. I am planning to walk in the parade, so see you on Saturday!

Teacher Appreciation Week

I have had the most amazing week! All the little things the kids brought me to let me know I was appreciated, were so much fun!! At first I had no idea it was Teacher Appreciation Week. So for the first couple of days I was a little confused. I asked almost every student who handed me something what it was for. Almost all of them said they didn't know, their mom had just told them to give it to me, Ha! Then someone told me about the email Mrs. Bright sent out. I appreciate all my wonderful students and parents as well. It has been a fantastic year!!

We miss you, Miss Mijatovic

We are all missing Miss Mijatovic. Thank goodness we had a surprise party for her on Friday! We all gave her cards and a "Hand Made" tote bag. We also had juice pops for a treat. Here's to Miss Mijatovic!

INFLATABLES!!!

Tomorrow (Thursday) we will be playing on the inflatables in P.E. Please make sure your student wears socks to school and Does NOT wear jewelry of any kind. Thanks! I just hate seeing those tears when they can't get their earrings out.

Miss Mijatovic is now a rap artist!

In celebration of the end of our money unit, we decided to perform a rap for the students. They all joined in on the chorus. We had a great time!

Money Money Money

We had a great time creating this quick video as a surprise for Ms. Nickless one day when she was out in the morning.  Catchy tune, but even catchier moves! Enjoy! -Miss Mijatovic
