What a year! You are such a talented, respectful group of students – collectively and individually. I have LOVED being your teacher! I know you will continue to read, write, and solve problems every day, because you have internalized the value of learning. I expect to continue hearing GREAT things about all 18 of you in the future. Have a fun summer! I’m already looking forward to seeing your smiling faces return to R.B Hunt in August! It will be here before we know it! Love you all!
P.S. Please “unsubscribe” from my site so you don’t continue to receive updates next year! 🙂
