Summer is here! (So to speak:)

School is done for another year.It has been a great year and I really applaud all of our children;  the Portland Musical was phenomenal!  It was the best elementary performance that I have ever seen!
I am really sad to be leaving this school and all the wonderful kids and parents, but I am really looking forward to being in a place where it is not raining near as much.  I will keep my blog going throughout the summer to keep people informed about what is happening with me (if you want:).  Have a great summer!!!

Camp-Learned-a-lot

Camp has started here at school.  There are several fun activities that are planned.  One thing kids love is to receive camp mail.  There will be a "Mail Box" in the office that you could drop mail off.  Our address is 3 Morgan Rd, Beaverton, Or 97007.  If you choose you can also email letters to me and I will see that they are delivered (this works great for extended family to be able to send mail also).  The kids have some great tye-dye shirts!  We sing songs in the morning out in front of the school (under the back cover if it is raining), so if you drop your kids off and would like to stick around and listen, you are more than welcome.
The kids will be doing their famous person speeches this Wednesday and Thursday.  They should have some sort of costume or prop.  Most of them have ideas or have started/finished their costumes.  Any help you can provide at home for that would be wonderful.  Thank you for all of your support and encouragement!
