4N Reflections
Looking Back On Our Year Together
Dear Parents,
Most of all, thank you for being such great partners in your child's learning. Your continued support and encouragement has made this a special and memorable year. I sincerely appreciate all of the time and energy you have spent supporting and attending our class activities, and for sending your child to school each day happy and ready to learn. This year would not have gone smoothly without your active involvement, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
To my "Nguyen-ners", I say THANK YOU! This past year, we have grown together in many ways. We have each gone through our ups and downs, but have certainly come out stronger in the end. My hope for you is, of course, to become strong learners and students. But most importantly, my biggest hope of all is that you become kind-hearted and responsible people. When you look back on our year together, I hope you look back on this year as one where you made a tremendous amount of personal growth. Remember to always work hard and be kind - the way you present yourself to the world and the way you treat others is how you will be remembered. Each of you will always hold a very special place in my heart. Even though I am no longer your teacher, I will always be your biggest cheerleader. Please know that I will always be here to help you with whatever you may need, wherever you may go, and whatever you may do. Remember all that we've learned this year to help you strive to be the BEST that you can be. I can't wait for the day when I hear your names linked with great accomplishments!
Have a wonderful and relaxing summer, and best of luck in 5th grade!
Love always,
Ms. Nguyen
