Since I did not post last week, so sorry about that, and we have been doing so many assessments this post too will be short!
We have an action packed last week of school but I wanted to take this time to express how grateful I am that I was able to teach your children this year. It has been an amazing year and I am truly going to miss them all!
Curriculum Fair Project: George Washington Carver
Thank you to all who came to our curriculum fair. The students loved getting to see other grades projects and also share their George Washington Carver research! Students shared their fact sheets and their writing about Carver. If you weren't able to attend don't worry I will be sending home their projects in their end of year folders. Here is an example and the wall where we displayed the pieces:

| George was kidnapped. He grew peanuts. He was a plant doctor. |
Kindergarten Memories
A fun end of year activity that I like to do is to fill our whiteboard with every memory students have from Kindergarten. They had 50 memories and we filled the board! Then once we brainstorm different memories I had students write about their favorite memory and create a picture showing their favorite memory. While I won't post any of their finished projects (those are a surprise for you after graduation on Thursday!) here is the board with the different memories that they came up with!
Headphone Thank You's
I am so excited that we were able to get some amazing headphones donated to our class. These headphones have volume control so students can't hurt their ears by turning up the volume too loud and they are virtually indestructible! They bend and are foam so they are much more forgiving of some rough Kindergartners :) That being said I had students write thank you notes to the company for donating them. One student even wrote: "I love the headphones so much. And they smell like new Nikes." I am sure the notes will be well received! Here are some students working on their cards:
Well, that concludes my final post for the year! Thank you for joining us and reading about the many adventures we have had this year!
Enjoy your summer!
Smiles,
Miss Adams
