I'm Really Going to Miss these Kids!

What a tremendous year it has been! When I think back on what the year was like, I am filled with JOY! These children have a special place in my heart and I am so very thankful that I was their teacher this year. We had a fun day together... we laughed, and cried. And my hope is that when they think of their third grade year, they will remember the "family" that was created.

What a fun day... a "Family" fun day!

We had a blast today at Palmer's Family Fun! It was so wonderful to watch them laughing and having a great time together. We have become more than a class... we have become a "family." This last week is going to be a tough one... we are not ready to see our time as a class come to an end.

Brown "E's"

Happy April Fools' Day! Thank you to Cayden Schellhorn's family for a fun April Fools' Day Brown "E's" prank. The kids LOVED it!

I could not be any prouder...

These kids are simply amazing!  Today, at the Character Counts Assembly, our class received the Fairness Award. This on its own, may not seem like a big deal, however, they have won the Character Counts Award (given out to one 2nd or 3rd grade class each month) three times in a row! In January, they were given the award for Responisbilty, and in February, they were given the award for Caring. This award is voted on by the Specials Teachers, Para Educators, and other staff members at Cedar Heights. I am SO PROUD of them!! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful class!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.... and Be Happy!

I am so proud of the hard work the kids put into this Public Service Announcement! We are currently working on opinion and persuasive writing and the kids wrote the script together as a class. They discussed what would be a powerful and persuasive message to share with others about the importance of recycling. They had to work hard as a team to overcome some challenges, and they handled this so well!  Enjoy their PSA! Click Here to See our PSA!

Give me one dollar... One dollar... Two dollars!

We had such a great time today at our auction! The kids learned what a live auction is all about.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It looks like Turkey Tom and Turkey Tina had a great time with your kids! Thank you for sharing the photos!

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! I am so thankful for your kids! Thank you for entrusting them to me!
