Final Countdown

My last full week of summer has hit, meaning we are in the back to school homestretch.  My summer has been fabulous. What's not to love about swimming, reading, and running everyday?  Not to mention wakeboading, water skiing and lots of days sleeping in.  Although I am going to miss summer (really, truly miss it), I am just as excited to start another wonderful year in 1st grade.

I'd love to hear about your summer too.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you've been up to this summer.  See you very soon 1st graders!

Goodbye Friends

Dear First Grade Families,

It's finally here-summer! One last thank you to all the boys and girls for their continuous hard work this school year. Thank you also to the parents for your support and encouragement from home, as well as, all our faithful blog followers. We loved all the times you visited our classroom as guests, mystery readers, or helpers.

Today, I give you back the same child from the fall a few inches taller, a few months wiser, and much more mature. Although this growth would have happened anyway, it has been my pleasure to watch them develop every day. The impromptu student planned flash mob will go down as one of my favorite first grade memories of all time.

We have lived, loved, laughed, and learned together this year. I wish it could continue but each and everyone of you is ready for 2nd grade. Remember, I will always be interested in your child's future, wherever they go, whatever they do. Their joys and sorrows I will always be happy to share. Don't forget to read and post your summer adventures on your Kidblog. Until we meet again!

Love always,
Miss Klipfel
