Guess Who’s Going to 4th Grade?


Friday, May 21: Happy Summer!


For you!

My 3G Scholars, since we can’t be together to reflect on our school year together and to say good-bye, this video will have to do. I hope it brings a smile to your face!

Some final reminders and memories...
Good morning, 3G scholars!
It’s ok to be still and quiet.
Show me SLANT. Show me RED.
Show me HALL.
Focus Fox
Who are you because of God’s grace and mercy?
Who should they see in you?  Who should they hear when you speak? Feel when you act?
Less talk. More eat. Mange!  (Mange is French for eat.)
Keep reading and studying our math facts!
Be kind.
Help your parents out around the house.
Don’t play too many video games.

And have a safe, healthy, fabulously fun summer!

I love you, and I miss you!
Ms. Ghio

Friday

I will not be posting anything tonight.

Tomorrow morning, I will post a surprise for you and your family. Kind of a short celebration since we can’t celebrate together.

We’ll also meet at 10am in Hangouts to say good-bye for the summer.

Love you and miss you! ( I don’t have many pictures of myself, but this is one from last fall that we took after my dad gave me his old St. Ann soccer jacket from when he coached my brother's team in the late 1970s/early 1980s).

SEE YOU TOMORROW, my 3G scholars!
