OOPS!!! Forgot to “publish” this – everything was posted in GC regardless.

T.G.I.F! Happy Friday! It was great seeing our Howard family yesterday! My heart is happy from seeing students and parents yesterday, regardless of the social-distancing and circumstances. I’ve said this to some parents, but I want to relay this message to all: As a 5th grade teacher, the last couple of months are often the most rewarding. I would typically see the culmination of hard work, determination, and responsibility that developed and strengthened through your elementary schooling. I am missing that and it is hard for me. Students – PLEASE keep working hard! We can see the finish line! You need to maintain strong work and responsibility. Keep reading directions, instructions, and complete your work to the best of your ability that I know you are capable of. None of us know what next year’s schooling will look like. However, it won’t be as “easy” as this is now. Keep your chin up and keep working hard. (And another reminder – just because you turn in your work doesn’t automatically mean full credit or even partial credit. It needs to meet district expectations. Take your time and double check your work before submitting it.)
