Moving to 3rd Grade!

Next year (2016-17) I will be teaching 3rd grade!  My email is still hdyer@ucschools.org if anyone needs me over the summer.  You can find my 3rd grade website HERE.  (It is a work in progress!)

So Long but not Goodbye

The end of the year is such a bittersweet time.  We're all looking forward to summer break, but we're going to miss the friends we're leaving behind.  I wish the very best to my dear, precious students and their families as you journey from the elementary school over to the middle school.  It has been my pleasure and my honor to be your teacher this year.  You all mean so much to me!  I hope that you will keep in touch, because you will always be a part of me.  I think the following poem may say it best.

Best wishes to you all!  Thank you for a great year!

PJs & Electronics Tuesday!

Today we went through our signed papers and are bringing home some of our favorite work.  Please clean out backpacks daily (and send backpacks to school each day).  Thanks!

The students have earned pajamas tomorrow and they may bring electronics for some game time at school tomorrow also. 

Don't forget that Wednesday is the last day of school and that dismissal will begin about 11:30.  Thank you for such a great year!

Thank you to everyone who sent in party items and/or came and helped!  We had a nice celebration to begin winding down our school year.
