This is the last month of my 30 year career of teaching. I can't believe that it is ending. I have LOVED it and I know I will miss seeing the kids, parents and teachers at Silver Mesa. I will still be teaching though. I am going to teach Lily (2) and Casey (4) for the next two years until my husband retires from teaching 4th grade. It will be a good way to transition from the job I love. Thank you for all of your kindnesses.

Math Boxes--Our last math box packets will go home on May 3rd

Thank you for supporting your children with all the math explorations that you have done at home. I hope you have enjoyed watching your child blossom with greater understanding as they practiced what they learned at school and applied them with fun activities that I suggested or you provided for them. I developed this Math Box program in 1991 and have taught teachers all over the state about how to use it or adapt it for their Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade classes. This is my original creation that I am most proud of through all of my 30 years of teaching. I know it will go on in many schools even though I am retiring. Thank you for helping your kids with it. During the summer, you could pull out the Math Box to review some favorite activities.
