Ms. Lorna of Good Samaritan directs the activities that the 4th Grade did with the residents. The kids learned about the 'Decoration Day' memories that were shared, we sang Happy Birthday to all the May people--old and young. Once again, the kids get so much from socializing with the residents. We look forward to working with Good Samaritan again next year.

| End of the year Portfolio evaluation. The kids chose 2 pieces of work from each quarter. One was to represent an example that they could see areas to improve and make the work stronger and better. The other example was work that they were proud of as is. They shared this work with their job partner in typical cooperative learning activity after they finished. |
