This year has been a wonderful year teaching your children. The students learned a lot and have been very successful in their studies. I really enjoyed teaching them, and they were a wonderful class who were engaged in their learning.
I just wanted to pass on some information about apangea math. This note came from the Idaho State Department of Education. This is in regards to a summer math program on line. It is free and can offer some practice in math concepts along with earning some monetary rewards. As parents you may sign up your child. There is a drop down menu and you can pick parent to sign up your child. This is the following information:

"Apangea Summer Math Splash – This summer, Apangea Learning is sponsoring the Summer Math Splash, an innovative program designed to keep students doing math during the summer vacation. Students can use their current Apangea log in to participate or teachers can enroll students by contacting their local Program Manager. Additionally, parents can now enroll their child themselves using this easy link: www.apangea.com/lms/parents/parentsignup.aspx  . We are giving away some great prizes starting in June including movie tickets, Flip video cameras, Nook Color Readers, and a laptop computer for students who work on math this summer. Apangea Math is available any place there is a computer with an Internet connection, including at any Idaho public library, through “online @ your library,” the Idaho Commission for Libraries’ Broadband Technology Opportunities Program."

Have a wonderful summer,
Mrs. Walker

Starry Night


Vincent Van Gogh
1853-1890

We studied a little of Vincent Van Gogh in art class. We learned about his life, his style of painting, and specifically focused on Starry Night. The students then did a recreation of Starry Night.
Here below is the original along with a commentary of what Van Gogh might have been trying to convey through this magnificent work of art. It truly is an up lifting piece of artwork.
