As our school year comes to a close, I want to thank you, one last time for all of your tremendous support this year. Your child's success in Grade 3 is a direct result of the work WE have all contributed collectively.
When I think back over the year and all of the progress each and every child has made, I am just so proud of our class. Truly. It's remarkable, actually. And, as I mentioned at our end-of-year party, I love reflecting on the huge gains that were made in so many areas: academically, behaviorally, emotionally, socially, and in their individual character. It's always such a delight to a teacher's heart to see that maturity right before our eyes and it's a sweet reward for our labor.
So, please know that you were and are a big part of that every time you read to your child or listen to him/her read to you, ask about his/her day at school, help with homework, encourage independence and responsibility, organize play dates, check the blog, believe in your child, and about 100 other things. YOU are definitely part of the magic of learning and I couldn't do it without you. So, thank you. Thank you for everything.
I will miss every darling in our 3LN class family and feel so blessed to have had the privilege to teach each precious soul.
For those who are leaving DAA, please know that though you are leaving the UAE, you could never leave our hearts. We will really miss you. Perhaps the best way to put it was how Andreea stated it today in a note she gave me today:

(Well, part of it, anyway.)
With that, I wish you each a very happy, refreshing, and beautiful summer. I look forward to seeing most of you in just a few weeks!
Adieu to you, and you, and you...and I love you!
