Emily Does A Triathalon!

I ran a triathalon! I had to bike, run and swim. I was really tired at the end but had fun doing it!

Goodbye Summer

I had a wonderful summer. I taught summer school, biked and traveled. My son Greg was in Joplin, Missouri this summer playing collegiate baseball. When he returned home, we enjoyed lots of family time. I was in Washington, DC on the president's birthday. My family visited many museums and monuments. We also went to Pittsburgh to see the Cubs play the Pirates. Our last stop was Cedar Point for lots of rollercoasters. It has been a fun summer but I am very excited for school to start and see all of my favorite second graders!

A Great Catch!

Wow! Oliver has quite a catch! It is a bass right from our town's pond!

Mr. Popper's Penguins

Last winter we enjoyed listening to the story Mr. Popper's Penguins. Our class went to see the movie starring Jim Carrey. The movie was quite a bit different than the book but the penguins were adorable and it had a great message. It was fun to see everyone after being out of school for a month.

Author Meeting!

Reported By: Katelyn
On June 16, I went to see Shelley Moore Thomas, the author of "Good Night, Good Knight". I was lucky to win a raffle with the prize being a signed book called "Take Care, Good Knight". She is a very fun author & also had puppets to make us laugh. Here is a link to her website if you'd like to see more about her books or to hear her read the stories aloud. Shelly More Thomas

Field Days!

Summer is almost here! Field Days is an end of the year fun event where we enjoy lots of outdoor activities! Our favorite was the rope pull.

Our Class Play!

The students did an amazing job creating props and practicing for the Great Kapok play. We put our learning of weather, Earth Day and the rainforest into the creation of our performance. We enjoyed performing it for other classes and the parents.
