Last Day of School


We had an amazing last day of school today with our field day!  Although the class spent most of their day with other teachers, I did get to see them before the day was over.  Thank you for sharing your kids with me this year.  I'm always anxious to have some extra time with my family when the school year wraps up, but sad to say good-bye to the kids I've watched grow and learn.  
I hope you have a wonderful summer!
