Last Weekly Update - June 24 - 28

This is the final blog update of my 35 years of teaching. It is bitter-sweet for me because I have loved teaching and working with you and your children. Thank you for all your help and support during this year!

Love,
Mrs. Beaudin

I give you back your children, the same children you confidently entrusted to my care last fall.

I give them back kilograms heavier, centimeters taller, months

wiser, more responsible, and more mature than they were back then.

 Although they would have attained their growth in

spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege

to watch their personality unfold day by day and

marvel at this splendid miracle of development.

 I give them back reluctantly, for having spent

ten months together in the narrow confines of a

crowded classroom, we have grown close, have

become a part of each other, and we shall

always retain a little bit of each other.

 We have lived, loved, laughed, played, sang,

learned, and enriched our lives together this year.
I wish it could go on indefinitely, but give them

back I must. I know you will take care of them, for they

are precious.

 Remember that I shall always be interested in
your children and their destiny, wherever they go,

whatever they do, whoever they become. Their joys

and sorrows I’ll be honoured to share.

I shall carry special memories of them with me always.

As we enter the last week in May we are busily trying to complete all out our Grade One outcomes. In Science we are working on the Living/Non Living theme. We planted bean seeds and eagerly watched them grow. Our focus in Social Studies is life Then and Now. The students are amazed at how different things are today than they were years ago. They can't imagine life without a computer or a cell phone!

Last week we started the ABC's of grade one. As I thought" Bubbles and Bubble Gum" day will got high ratings from most of the students. I can't remember a time when I have had that much fun with bubbles!!

The Crowning of Mary celebration was on Thursday. Your children knew all of the prayers. They were very prepared and did a wonderful job. Thank you to all of the parents who were able to join us for the celebration.

On May 28th both Grade One classes are heading out to The Hubbard Collection at Lethbridge College. We will leave the school at 12:45 by bus, and will return to the school about 2:25 pm. Thank you to the parents who will be joining us as chaperones. 

Our running club is coming to a conclusion this week. Students will be able to run before school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Little Soul's Marathon is at CCH West on May 29th@6:30 pm. Can't wait to see all of the runners come out!
