Can you believe?!

We have only one week of school left!  The year has flown by and I can't believe it it is almost over! We still have a lot to do before next Friday, so make sure you are here on time! You don't want to miss the fun activities planned for our last week together!

Just want each of you to know:

You're a very special person,                                                               
And I want you to know.
How I loved to be your teacher,                         
How fast the weeks did go!
Please come back to visit me
As through the grades you grow,
Try hard to learn all that you can
There is so much to know!!
The one thing I try to teach you
To last your whole life through,
Is to know that you are special
Just because you are you!!!   :)Ms. Lauth
