The end has come...

WOW! It has been an AMAZING year!

I couldn't have asked for a better group of students for my first class overseas. I have grown to love each and every one of your students and I was very sad to say goodbye today. We have laughed, learned, played, studied, and enriched our lives together this year. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your children with me. I give your student back to you heavier, taller, wiser, more responsible and more mature than they were at the beginning of the year. Even though they would have grown and learned without my help, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to help and see their personalities grow day by day and help them develop in their learning.

I owe the wonderful experiences I have had here in Egypt to all of you. Your children and yourselves have been so great to me and I really appreciate everything. Please know that I will always be interested in your children and their destinies, wherever they go, whatever they do and whoever they become. I would be happy to share in their life.

I wish you all a great summer and all the best of luck in Grade 2! Your students are more than ready and prepared to be successful next year.

Please keep in touch through my gmail. The teachers will be around at the school until June 27 and report cards are available for pick up on the 25th. Feel free to come by the classroom and visit on that day.

Again, I will miss you all and feel so fortunate to have been a part of your lives and you a part of mine. Thank you for everything!

Phew! We made it!

It was a very busy week but we finished assessments and had our last trip! We had so much fun at the movies and it was a great time!

Next week we will be finishing up our portfolios and cleaning up the classroom and packing up and bringing home the rest of the class supplies and books.

On Tuesday, the last day of school, we would like to have a small dish party to celebrate the end of the year!     If you could send in some simple snacks, that would be great! We will also use this day to celebrate the summer birthdays in our class, Salma, Yassin and Eyad, whose birthdays are in late June or July. I will bring in a treat for the class and we will watch movies and play games.

Tuesday will also be out of uniform.

Only three more days left! :)

Have a nice weekend!

Homework Updated


I have updated the homework for this week on the homework tab. 

This will be the last week for homework. Please return it on Thursday and I will grade everything that has yet to be graded and send it back home next week. 

Also, over the next several days, your student will start to bring home their workbooks and classwork. I will try to send it home little by little so their backpacks do not get too heavy. Please make sure to check and empty their back packs every day. 

Any workbook or classwork that comes home is your to keep. We are about finished with them in class, so we are going to start cleaning things out. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Production Clothing

Please send your student in normal clothes for the day tomorrow. Preferrably something easy to change out of and into because we will be changing into the costumes prior to the show. They will wear their costumes during the entire show.

However, please make sure to send them in BLACK shoes.

Also, don't forget to send water and food with them as there will be nothing for them to purchase at school. Water is not available. You can send what you normally send them for lunch, or something to act as a dinner since they will be there late.

Thank you for your help!

See you all tomorrow!

Please feel free to email me with any questions. I will check my email often.
