PACT called on Friday, and said there was an opening. The problem was, Jacque's old school had no school the next Monday or Tuesday, and PACT was ready for her to start on Tuesday. So, that meant that that day, Friday, was her last day at Rum River Elementary. I decided I needed to go up to school and tell her that so she would have a chance to say good-bye to all her friends. So, below are pictures of her and all her friends on her last day......
Jacque and Mrs. Schanzen--her main teacher. In 4th and 5th grade, Rum River has those classrooms have 1 teacher for 3-4 classes they specialize in, and swap with another room half way thru the day for their other teacher that specializes in the other courses. She always started the day off with Mrs. Schanzen, and at 12:30, she would go to......
Mr. Moore's room next door. All his class would go to Mrs. Schanzen's room and Jacque's class would come to his. He taught Science, Math and Social Studies. It worked pretty well, something new and I think a way to get kids prepared for middle school in 6th grade and the constant change of classes and teachers.
So, good-bye to our classroom at Rum River.....
Hello to PACT Charter! Guess I didn't get close enough to read her name, but that is her new locker--no more sharing!!
And welcome to Mrs. Maki's room! This is Kathryn Perra, a good friend we already knew and happens to be in her classroom as well, helping Jacque settle in.
This turned out to be a great transition. Just 2 weeks later at conferences her teacher told me it's as if Jacque's always been there. She really likes her new school......but not as much as Mom and Dad like them all being there together now!!
