In Florida!!

I have had a great few days in St. Augustine.  Yesterday I actually swam with a manatee and got to rub all over him and put on a mask and go underwater and look at his beautiful face-he was amazing!  I also went kayaking on the St. John's river and saw alligator up close and personnal.  I wasn't as brave as Kelsey and Gary who paddled right over to a huge one that had just chomped down on something on land.  I stayed far away.  It was a great day of snorkling and spending time with Jake and Kelsey and seeing my sister in law.  I'll keep everyone updated on my summer ventures.  Tonight it's to the beach and pool since the little boys are coming down on their way to Winterhaven before the cruise.  Happy days!!!!  Love Mrs. Carroll

Happy Graduation

Last minutes reminders:

Our class will have their private slide show and awards tomorrow.  My husband made a CD for everyone with all of the pictures on it so you can watch it at home.

Graduation is at 8:30 on Friday.  This is a dressier occasion for us so please have your child dress appropriately.  Parents may take their children as soon as graduation is over and they pick up their report card.  Remember... if you owe money to the school please pay by tomorrow.  This includes lunch money, candy money, lock money, library money-THANKS!!!!

Pool Party is from 7-9 at the Lynrock Pool.  Please bring your assigned item. 

I'm sure tomorrow will be teary days for us as we leave each other.  I even got chocked up watching the chorus sing yesterday.  The children in this class will truly be missed.  This has been the best year of my teaching career.  I hope you have great memories of fifth grade too.  You will hold a special place in my heart forever!!!

The End is Near!!

WOW!!!  It has been an amazing year.  As we begin our last week together, I look back at the fond memories that this class has given me.  It has truly been the best year of my teaching career!!  I will never forget this wonderful group of children and I look forward to seeing great things from each of them in the future. 

Graduation is at 8:30 on June 10.  The children may check out after graduation and I encourage this.  The rest of the day will be spent cleaning and packing. 

I hope you have thought fondly of this year.  I have been blessed by your children and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
