Enjoy Your Summer Vacation!
Thank you students and parents for a great school year! It's been an interesting year! Our class time, field trips, and other math activities have helped me grow as an educator. Your input is very important. Please take a few moments to reflect on this school year. Please comment on what you enjoyed this year... What you found to be difficult and challenging and leave some suggestions about how I can improve math instruction for the next year.
Parents--Thank you for your support throughout the year. Please feel free to include comments along with your child! Enjoy your summer vacation.
