Thank you and Happy Summer!

Thank you parents and families for all of the wonderful support you have given to me and your children this year.  It has been an adventure every step of the way, and I am so thankful for each and every one of you.  Students, I am proud of the journey you have taken this year, and this is just the beginning!   Whether you are going into fifth grade, or I am seeing you next year here at UP, your excitement and willingness to take on new challenges will take you far.  Thank you all for the wonderful end of year gift.  I feel so appreciated... and what a way to end the year with such a generous gesture!   Be safe traveling and enjoying your summer!  See you all next year :)

Teacher appreciation week

Hello TAG families,
 
I would like to thank each and every one of you for the thoughtful notes, flowers, and gifts that your children spoiled me with last week.  I feel so loved and appreciated!  You all have made my first year at University Park amazing, and I can't thank you enough for that.  Not only did your children make me feel special last week, but throughout the  year they have been polite, eager to learn, and loving.  What more could a teacher ask for!  Thank you again for the wonderful year and an incredible teacher appreciation week.  
 
Sincerely,
Kayla Myers

PARENT/TEACHER BOOK CLUB:  We are back at it again!  Our first book club was such a success that our group has decided to try to fit another book in for this next month.  We are now going to read Excellent Sheep by William Deresiewicz.  Our next meeting to discuss will be on April 18th, location and time TBD.  Please email me if you would like to be included on our book club emails.  
Third Grade Heart Fair was a success!  The students presented to an audience of peers, parents, and teachers.  Presentations included a project board and a technology piece to display additional resources through Discovery Education.  The students practiced their presentation skills along with educating our audience on different heart, lung, and blood diseases.  Thank you to those that attended and gave valuable feedback to the hard work put into making these incredible presentations.  I am so proud of this group!
