Happy Summer Everyone!

Hello all! I hope your summer is in full swing. I really miss my students! I would love to hear from parents and especially, kids....to hear what you're up to. I check my work e-mail several times a week. http://jbadawi@houstonisd.org
Many, many "thank you notes" grace my dining room table, awaiting the stamp fairy. In the meantime, please know how happy your generous gifts made me, and how much I treasure the notes and cards from kids and parents, as well. I wish we could continue on together!

I'm teaching at AOS for 2 more weeks for "Writers in the Schools" summer writing camp. In July, I'm going to Mt. Holyoke, Mass. with several other teachers for a week, for an intense math workshop. After that, I'll spend a bit of time in New York before coming back home...and getting my youngest off to Colorado State.

I'm sending some of your childs work over the next month. I hope everyone is spending some quiet reading time daily: I don't want anyone to get rusty! Included in the mailer will be a list of suggestions for keeping your learner on top of their game over the summer.

Take care, and I hope to update again soon!
Ms. J
