I just wanted to say again what a wonderful year I have had with all of you (2 years with some of you count grade 6 HACE). I can't imagine next year without you all, but I know you will all have a great time in high school.
On that note, sorry for being so vague about where I'll be next year, but I needed to make sure all of the right people knew before I could announce anything. Today will be my last day at G.A.D. It has been an exciting 2 years and I am so grateful for all that I have learned and experienced here, but it is time for me to pursue my goal to work in the public education system. I don't know exactly where I'll be next year, but I may teach some of you again in the future (I hope so!)
Congratulations grads of 2015! This is not goodbye, it's just see you later ;)
Love,
Ms. Reid

Tonight's homework:
Edit the rough draft of your story using your publishing checklist. I encourage you to go through the editing process with someone else, like a parent or older sibling. If you can't do that, read it out loud to someone - even a pet or a stuffed animal will do! The act of reading it out loud will help you pick up sentences and words that don't sound quite right.
The good copy is due either printed out or e-mailed to me on Friday.
Have a great evening!
