MY LAST POST

Dear Parents,
Writing this "last post" for my classroom blog is causing me to feel quite emotional.  I'm finding it difficult to realize that tomorrow really will be my last day as a public school teacher.  I have loved every class under my charge, but this group of children will hold a special place in my heart as they will always be my last.  Thank you for your trust and support and the privilege of being a small part of your children's lives.  They will go on to grow and embrace all that life has to offer and I hope I can do the same.  I want to thank you also for the most surprising and wonderful gifts Mrs. Duperron and I received on Tuesday.  I am overwhelmed and humbled by your kindness and generosity.  After 37 years of teaching I have seen so much change and yet stay the same.  What has not changed are families, doing their best to raise their children with love.  We all want our children to be responsible, caring citizens and students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to face the challenges of their generation.  I know these children are well on their way and the younger teachers are as passionate and skilled as ever.  Thank you again.

P.S. I have enclosed an iMovie (DVD) in your child's report card.  I think you will enjoy it.  I have played several of them to ensure they work, but sometimes DVD players can be quirky.  If you find it doesn't work, please let me know and I will give you another.  As well, some people don't realize you have to press the "enter" button on the remote after you press "play" to get the movie started after the introduction. Regardless, I want everyone to have one that works. Call me if you have any problems with your DVD.  780 987-2671  Mrs. T
