Have a Great Summer!

I first want to apologize for not getting any of those new pictures up (from Metric Olympics and End-of-the-Year). The stomach flu was going around my family, and of course, I got it on Wednesday and wasn't able to make it out to MY last day of school (and my work day) on the 20th! My son Ryan then was sick on Thursday, and by the time I went out to school on Friday (22nd), the janitors (who are AWESOME, by the way!) had already moved EVERYTHING out of the room (including the computer which had all of my pictures on it) in order to clean it and wax the floors! I WILL get them up when I go back in August to start the new school year, and I will try to get "reminders" out to all of my 3A students so you all can go and check them out then!

Second, I want to tell you how much I enjoyed my 3A students this year! What a GREAT class of kids! I look forward to seeing all of them next year in 4th grade (some in my class and the rest for Writing & Grammar)! I hope you all have a FANTASTIC summer! Please encourage your kids to read as well as practice those multiplication & division facts! It will make such a difference for next year!!!!

Western Week - Reading Activities

The kids had a great time with our Western Week Reading Activities. Thanks to you all for encouraging them to dress-up each day. This afternoon we went to an assembly put on by the Swanson family from Canton. During the assembly we learned some history about cowboys as well as became familiar with Cowboy gear (clothes they wore). We also saw them do some pretty cool stuff with their ropes and whips, as well as play us some “cowboy music” with a fiddle, mandolin and guitar.

Hannah - Wildcat of the Week

Hannah's mom, Nikki Van Engen, came to visit the class on Tuesday, April 28th, while Hannah was Wildcat of the Week. Nikki works at Mickel's Corner in Inwood. She mentioned to the class and Mrs. Sorensen that the favorite part of her job was visiting with the many people who come into the store during the day. She also brought in two of Hannah's pets to share with the class, a puppy and a tiny turtle that they found. Thanks to Nikki for taking the time to come and visit with us!
