May News
Teacher Talk
Happy May Days to each and all.
May is a peculiar beast around this classroom. It's the time of year when we are reviewing, wrapping up units, tying up loose ends, and doing many fun things! Since there are many things to be reminded of, I will be creating a progressive newsletter. That means that this newsletter will become progressively longer as I add information to it.
I will try to put most info in this spot and send a reminder email to check out the May Days Ninja News. I figure that will be easier than constantly searching for a random email from me.
Get ready. Buckle those seatbelts. The rollercoaster is about to begin!!
