We Keep On Moving Forward

Hello, families-

The month of May is coming to an end! This year is not going to stop giving us excitement and lessons to be learned. The teachers in our room have been very deliberate in our observations and discussions on how to finish the year strong. The students are practicing all the works they have learned. They are sharing their learning to other students in class that are ready for new presentations. It reinforces the children's mastery of skills and also gives so much to the other student receiving the lesson. It builds collaboration and community building. In the last two weeks, our class have also been out and about exploring the school setting and other areas in the city. We have spent time at the Peace Garden, watched a wonderful play and enjoyed the city park close to Suder with our family and friends.

I want to thank our beautiful families that continue to support our classroom and our goals in Room 101. I have been doing a lot of reflecting on my passion for teaching and reasons why I do this job. I am grateful for your trust and love.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that I am committed to trying my very best to teach, love and care for all of your children. I am always open and transparent to engage in conversation with you if you have any questions and concerns. I hope that message comes across strongly with the efforts I put in to our classrooms and relationships.

Love always,

Mrs. Guerrero
