Thank you for letting me teach your child this year.  We have made many new and unforgettable memories.  Some highlights: Sabino Canyon in the rain, ladybug lab, wind experiment,  field trips, presenting menus and insects, Zoo and field events, PJ days, Thursday end of the year party, many funny games of “Heads Up 7 Up” and many more.  Mrs. Marshall and I have many found memories of this class where they have made us smile and laugh.  This is a great bunch of students.  We look forward to them coming back and saying “Hi!” to us next year.  We love to see them around campus.

          A special Thank you to Ryan’s Mom, Natalie, for making the amazing visors with each child’s name on them.  The students loved them!

                Thank you to Ryan and his Mom Miss. Natalie for bringing in some of their tortoises and a box turtle.  Ryan brought in Wilbur the sulcata, Mr. T the desert tortoise, and Rosie the box turtle.  Ryan told the class what they like to eat and where they live at his house.  The students enjoyed observing them and how they walked.  Turtles are actually pretty quick!
