Great News!


Hi, all! 

Great news!  Our project on Donors Choose has been fully funded!  YAY!  Ms. Beller and I are so excited about getting a tablet for our classroom, and we cannot wait for the kids to start using it to help them become better readers, writers and mathematicians.  Specifically, we must thank our two donors, Nicole and Audrey.  Your generosity is truly overwhelming, and words cannot even begin to describe how much your kindness is appreciated!  We would also like to express our sincerest thanks to SAS for matching Audrey’s donation.

Once again, it was another busy week in Ms. Beller’s room!  For starters, we were so blessed to have Congressman Brad Miller, Representative Grier Martin, Vice President of Wake NCAE Larry Nilles, Coach Mike Cody from Sanderson High School, Mr. Jimmy from right here at Millbrook Elementary, my sister, Elizabeth, Ms. Beller’s sister, Lauren; and, musical guest, Dave Binanay all stop by to read as we continued to celebrate Read Across America week.  The kids had an absolute blast with each of our guests, and we cannot thank them enough for their time and efforts.  We hope they all will come back again soon! 

The kids also finished writing their fairy tales this past week.  There are stories of damsels in distress, brave knights, fearless princes, dragons, horrifying witches, flying foxes, talking pigs and even one where Humpy Dumpty saves the day!  Clearly, their fairy tales are quite imaginative, and your students are very excited to share them with all of you this Wednesday (March 14) during student lead conferences. 

As always, thank you all so much for your support and encouragement.  I hope everyone has a fabulous start to their week, and I am looking forward to seeing each of you Wednesday night for student lead conferences. 

Educationally Yours,
Ms. Bruner
