Another exciting year of music and learning has
come and gone, and what a year it was!
As I tidied up the classroom and my laptop this week, I came across
reminders of flower poems, Robert Munsch stories, animal rhythms, boom
whackers, drumming circles, melody chimes, xylophone pieces, and of course the singing
and acting and moving and all the silly moments in between. We have worked very hard and learned a lot - and had so much fun in the process!
On a personal note, these memories have been
especially dear to me this year because I have accepted a position at another
school next fall. It was a difficult
decision to make. I have so much enjoyed
being a part of the Panorama Hills community, working with the students and
families and the wonderful staff at this school. Sometimes I think I have had just as much
fun, and learned just as much, as the students I have worked with over the last
five years. Five-year-olds can be
powerful teachers!
I want to extend my deep gratitude to all of the
students for their trust and enthusiasm, and to all of the families for their
support and commitment. I also want to
express my sincere appreciation to the staff of Panorama Hills School - it has truly been a pleasure to work with such
dedicated and talented people!
Time brings change to all of us in big and little
ways. Whether we’re moving to a new
grade or to a new school, the wonderful memories of where we have been and what
we have done will provide a strong foundation for the new adventures that await us. Best of luck to everyone as you take
your next steps in the journey of learning!
Best
wishes!
