It's the final countdown....

Good afternoon parents and guardians,
Wow! What an amazing year. This year's class will always hold a special place in my heart and will always be memorable to me for many reasons. One being how hard this class worked, how resilient they were and how proud they made me (especially in the area of reading). I set the bar pretty high for this class and they went above and beyond. I became a better teacher because of them.
Please stay in touch for years to come. I will would love to hear about their adventures and accomplishments. 

 Their kinder teacher forever, 
Mrs. Gil

 Families, don't forget to use SMARTY ANTS at home EVEN DURING THE SUMMER. Log in information was given at back to school night. This is an amazing reading program that is also INDIVIDUALIZED! If your child still needs help with letter sounds, it will help them with that. If your child is ready to read CVC words, it will challenge them in that. 
If you have trouble logging in, please feel free to reach out to me!
