Much to Celebrate


I am happy to report there are quite a few reasons to celebrate since my last post! These past two months have been very busy and very productive.  Your children are growing - academically, socially, and emotionally.  I continue to be very proud of EVERY child in my class. Here are some reasons to celebrate:

Spelling Bee: Riley Cohutt, Aaliyah Craig, and Sophia Bernfeld (alternate) represented our class at The Peck Place School Spelling Bee. The words were challenging and there was stiff competition.  Riley and Aaliyah made us proud by advancing many rounds.  Riley was the overall third-place winner!  Congratulations to all three students.

Millionaire's Club:  This year's Millionaire's Club has just been announced.  Reamon Curis and James Liu have read their way into this elite club.  All members have read a minimum of 1,000,000 words during this school year.  Way to go Reamon and James! We have a few classmates that are very close to reaching this milestone - they are continuing to read and hoping to become a member before the year ends.  I'll keep you posted.

Case Memorial Art Show: Last night, the Case Memorial Library hosted an art show to highlight some very talented artists from our school system.  I am pleased to announce that Reamon Curis and Leah Casperowitz were selected to have their artwork displayed. Stop by the library and admire their beautiful masterpieces!

Student Ambassadors: Community outreach is alive and well - especially in Room 203.  The following students have been volunteering time to promote, organize, and participate in community service projects: Sophia Bernfeld, Leah Casperowitz, Riley Cohutt, Aaliyah Craig, Jaiden Hernandez, Grayson James, Maya Remigio, and Ellery Varholak

Springtime: We survived another New England winter and are ready to embrace all that Spring brings. Here are some reasons I love to celebrate Spring: more daylight, warmer weather, blooming flowers, children using their energy OUTSIDE, and April vacation.

Passover and Easter: I wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and restful holiday.  As you can see, we have a lot to be thankful for.
