My Ss and I really enjoyed all our AMAZING presenters for our Annual Career Day. I "Geeked-Out" when I met an actual FBI- Special Agent. I think I might want to change careers now and become Special Agent Salinas. 🤔 #MatzkeProud #MrsSalinaslovesthird #KidsDeserveIt #CareerDay

I decided to invite a special guest to join us during small group time. He will definitely motivate my students to continue learning these two weeks before summer. ⚽️🤣#MrsSalinaslovesthird #BeTheOne

Today, I used the Scholastic Storyworks 3 article called "Are those Aliens" to introduce my Summer Writing Challenge ✍️. My Ss were excited to adopt a little green 👽 along with a mini notebook. #MrsSalinaslovesthird #BeTheOne #MatzkeProud

Last PBIS 🍕 Pizza Party with Mrs. Salinas of this school year. My boys had a blast laughing, eating, and enjoying each others company. #MrsSalinaslovesthird #MatzkeProud #KidsDeserveIt

That's a WRAP! I'm so grateful for another year of inspiring young readers and writers. Our cherished memories together can never be erased. I received my 15 year pin of service, cleaned my classroom, and organized it for August. Ciao!#MrsSalinaslovesthird
