Give a cheer, spring is here - FINALLY!

What a beautiful day we had today, and hopefully the week will be just as wonderful.  As I look toward the end of the school year, I have been looking for end of the year reflective activities for my students.  Do you have any favorites that you use?  I would love to hear what you do in your classroom.  In the past, I have made a bulletin board that features the quote from "A Tale of Two Cities" - "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."  I have the students share their favorite thing about the year and their least favorite.  The answers always surprise me!

A Message to Winter...

The view outside my window right now...

Dear Winter,

While I do love to watch your beautiful snowflakes fall peacefully to the ground, I believe we have all had quite enough of your beauty for this season.  They say that sometimes those who are dying need to hear someone say that it is okay for them to pass on.  Well, Winter, it is okay for you to pass on.  We are ready for spring, green grass, and the warmth of the sun.  So, thank you for a lovely season, but it is time for you to go.  We look forward to seeing you again in November.

Love,
Ms. Lukes
