News From Ms. Tindalls Class

What a wonderful time of year! Students have become independent and canvirtually run the classroom by themselves. Thanks for all of your support over theyear. Our joint efforts are really paying off. The students are surprising meeveryday with their mature comments, kindness for each other (well most of thetime :-) and how quickly they are picking up new concepts especially comparedto the beginning of the year. Take a moment with your child to have a littlecelebration of what they have learned this year. You and he/she certainly deserveit.

Looking forward to seeing you at the show on Friday!

In partnership,Ms. Tindall
