Annotating Books!

Here we are.....devouring our new books!!  Thank you CE PTO!!!

All this reading makes a teacher's heart happy!

River Tables

We learned so much about the parts of a river.  Some of our learning came from reading....bust most of our learning came from doing!!!!!  Here we are making our own River Tables!!

Ask your child if he/she can name the different parts of a river!!

2nd Semester!!!

We are off to such a great start!  

It seems like we ALL craved the structure, fun and learning

that a school day provides!  We jumped right back in
and everyone is working so hard!!

I just love our sweet little team of 24 and how well we

all work together!
