The Homepage of Mrs. Goosen & Mrs. Shortridge
Mrs. Roorda and I want to say a HUGE thank you for the beautiful cards, words of encouragement, and gifts that were given to us last week. We absolutely loved teaching this class and feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to pour into their young lives.
We wish you and your family a wonderful summer, and look forward to seeing you in the fall.
Please have your child at school by 8:15 tomorrow. The bus leaves promptly at 8:30 and will return by 3:00.
We will hand our report cards in our classrooms once we return from the waterslides.
We are looking forward to an amazing last day together!

Bring a Bag for School Items Coming Home: Tomorrow we will start sending items home. Please send along a large reusable bag for your child to begin bringing their items home.
Potato Party on Wednesday: We are excited to have a potato party on Wednesday. This will take during lunch time so students do not need to bring a lunch. Please send your child’s item this week.
Rube Goldberg Machines: Students worked hard on their Rube Goldberg machines and they were fantastic! I’m attaching video links of most the machines! I will add the rest tomorrow, as YouTube only allows so many video uploads per day.
It’s the ‘final countdown’!! With two weeks of school left, we have a bunch of fun activities planned.
With Rube Goldberg approaching, the classroom will be open at 8:00 on Monday and Tuesday. Feel free to drop off your child早 if they’d like extra time to prepare their projects.
