Hello Families!
As I sit here typing this blog….I cannot help to feel bitter sweet about this last week of school. I am so excited to celebrate all of the many many successes this year has brought for all of my students. However, I know I will have tears in my eyes as I say goodbye for the summer! Your children have taken up a very special place in my heart! They have truly made my first year at Oakman and my first year teaching Young 5s such a joy! Your children have made me laugh everyday! It is my hope that I instilled within them a never-ending love for learning accompanied with an excitement to set and achieve goals. They are so very amazing! I look back at last fall and then think about now…our last week of school….and cannot help to feel proud of all of the growth socially, emotionally, and academically. I am so confident they will be shining stars in kindergarten! Along with a never-ending love for learning, I hope I have instilled within them the knowledge to know they are valued and loved. I hope they know to never give up and to always keep trying. I hope they know that their value to you, to me, to our school, and especially to this world is immeasurable! I am so blessed to have been their teacher. I am so blessed to have been greeted each day with their smiles, hugs, high fives, and little drawings and notes. Thank you,, families, for ALL of the support, the love, and the care you have shown me. You have made me part of your families and I am truly humbled by your kindness!
