Welcome back to our final blog of the 2014/2015 school year!

I want to start off by saying how much I've enjoyed working with your children this year and for many it has been the past two years.  What a joy it has been for me to watch them grow both academically and physically.  It has been my pleasure to be a part of their education.  I wish each and every one of them, nothing but the best!    

    My husband and I are obsessed with UP, and I love the handwriting!  End of the year card. Class picture with handwritten message from the teacher.






  • Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.  Walt Disney
  • It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.  Albert Einstein
  • You have brains in your head.  You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  Dr. Seuss- Oh, The Places You'll Go!

We had our last green slip drawing of the year!  I gave out fewer here and there plus no "sweeping-class-ones" where everyone got one, so those who received one liked their odds.  The number this time is seven slips.  The reason is because we had two repeat winners, Kaden H. and Hannah L., so I drew two more!  Congratulations to the following . . . 



Bayle B.-kindergarten-responsibility
Hannah L-kindergarten-responsibility
Kennedy B.-first grade-responsibility
Caden K.-first grade-cooperation
Kaden H.-second grade-problem solving
Madeline J.-second grade-problem solving
Aerianna W.-fourth grade-responsibility

I'll end with a blog filled with pictures, good times and quotes!  As I mentioned in a previous blog, please send an email if you're interested in the folder of pics from your child's class.  Thanks and have a great summer!

Kindergarten Math:



Let's go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.
~Steve Jobs


I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.
~Helen Keller




Fourth Grade LA:

There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger and live just a little bit better.



There are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.  ~Thomas Edison




Fourth Grade Math:



Friends are the most important ingredient in the recipe of life.






Second Grade LA:



Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.









Real friends are always going to be there by your side, even at times when you tell them to leave.






Second Grade Math:



Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.  The important thing is not to stop questioning.  ~Albert Einstein




People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.




Third Grade LA:
Friendships is the hardest thing in the world to explain.  It's not something you learn in school.  But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.  ~Muhammad Ali

If a problem can be solved, why worry?  If a problem cannot be solved, then worrying 
will do no good! 
Marc Allen




Third Grade Math:



A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile.





Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.







First Grade LA:
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it makes solving any problem a more pleasant experience.







A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
~Elbert Hubbard





First Grade Math:



"a problem well put is half solved." ~John Dewey






A best friend isn't just someone who's just always there for you.  It's someone who understands you a bit more than you understand yourself.






"Orange you glad it's SUMMER!"


Yours in education,
~Mrs. Koedyker
