Author's Lunch

Well, it's the day before the last day of the school year. I still cannot believe how fast this year went by. I have been reflecting a lot on this past year and without a doubt, the beginning was tough. As a district and a school, there were a lot of new changes...we were "trying things out" through the end of the winter. I do have to say, once things clicked, the schedule and structure felt like second nature.
I am so proud of my students and how far they've come this past year. Their excitement and enthusiasm for learning is something I hope they hold onto.
This was the first year I held an Author's Lunch and...WOW...what a success it was! I never imagined it would've turned out as great as it did. The students wrote so much over the course of the school year and were so excited to share their hard work to their families and other teachers. There was not one child who did not feel proud of his or her accomplishments. Every adult, myself included, was beaming with pride and excitement for the achievement of these young learners.
Thank you, to all of my students, coworkers, and parents for making today and this past school year so successful.
To tomorrow's second graders....MAGNUM OPUS!!
Please be sure to check the blog regularly this summer as I will try to keep you posted on some happenings.
Enjoy the videos of the Authors' Lunch and have a superbly fantastic, fun summer!!!

Ms. Grigway,
Thank you for posting the Author’s lunch video and for keeping us up to date with the classroom activities over the year. Donya thoroughly enjoyed her first year at Memorial and is already missing you and her friends. Have a wonderful summer!
