May Flowers!

Dear 2B Families,

Thank you SO much for all of the Teacher Love this week! It has been wonderful and much appreciated. I have loved reading each and every thoughtful card. What a special gift! You made me feel like a QUEEN all week! Thank you!

Scholar Shout-Outs:
DIBELS Testing: We are done with DIBELS testing and WOW! It has been AMAZING to see the growth in our reading skills throughout the year. I am SO impressed to see us reading like 3rd graders! Keep working hard and KEEP reading over the summer!

Didn't these littles sound like angels at our concert on Wednesday evening? I'm so proud of them. Thank you Mrs. Kaye and Ms. Weddle for the AMAZING work you do to help prepare our scholars.

Final Countdown: Have you heard about our balloon popping surprises? So far we've played BINGO, enjoyed using a marker all day, had a lesson outside, and we even earned a DANCE PARTY! Today we enjoyed (sugar free) popsicles for morning snack. Let's keep up the good choices and finish the year STRONG!

Kindness Matters: We had a good, LONG talk today about kindness and listening. These scholars know SO much about what it means to be kind and I hope we can continue the conversation!
