The Buzz in Ms. B’s Class

I cannot believe that we only have two more weeks left!  This year has flown by faster than any of my past years of teaching – it is crazy!

Reminders:

-       --- I will be out this Tuesday (today) as well as this Thursday (the 29th).
-       ---- STAAR scores were sent home today.  I have not had a chance to tell your child their scores yet and will do so on Wednesday.  You are more than welcome to share their scores with them if you would like, or you can wait to discuss with them on Wednesday afternoon after I discuss with them.  I am proud of all of them!  Please, visit my blog to read my heart on the matter of STAAR.  This is NOT the “be-all-end-all” of their third grade career – simply another assessment.
-      ----  Our End of the Year Ceremony will be next Wednesday the 4th at 10:00 am in our classroom.  More details to come soon.
-       ---- If you have ANY pictures that you took throughout the year at events (field trip, Play Day, etc.) that you would not mind sharing, please email them to me at the email address above.  I would love to have as many pictures from our year together as possible for our slideshow.
