Thank you Mr. Di Croce's 5/6's!

On my last day here I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for having me in your classroom for my teaching placement.  I had a great time here and learned so much from everyone.  I will take this experience with me throughout my educational career.  A special thank you to Mr. Di Croce for being a great mentor who I was so fortunate to be placed with.
