COOL???

     Today was sort of a sad awakening for me.  We had a super cool laser show.  The presenter did a little lesson on lasers and space, then we watched a fun laser show to music.  That is when I realized that I'm just not as cool as I thought.  The songs played were all songs I've heard before and every child knew all the words.  Guess what?  I knew maybe one word from the chorus of each song.  The others words.....I couldn't even figure out what in the world they were!!!  When did I turn into my mother?  YIKES

     Wednesday is WALKING WEDNESDAY.  Let's reclaim that trophy.

     The last day of school has been set, Wednesday, June 26.  YIKES again.  That is sooo late.  I hope we can make it  :-).

     The children picked out biographies from the library today.  That does not mean you are stuck with that person for your project.  Feel free to make any changes necessary.

     The newest member to our extended classroom family is due any second now.  Let's all wish good thoughts that BABY D arrives healthy and SOON!!!!!

   

SPRING

     Well not exactly spring but this warm weather sure does seem spring like.  Nothing at all like last Friday's storm, which took me by surprise.  I know they predicted some snow but when I went to bed and no snow was sticking I assumed the weathermen were wrong AGAIN.  I was shocked when I woke up.  It was a good thing school was cancelled BUT I really don't want to go until the last week in JUNE (whine, whine, whine).

     We had the BEST enrichment program at school today.  An artist came and he was UNBELIEVABLE.  His name was Rob Surette.  He's been on TV quite a bit.  He painted giant portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa and Albert Einstein in minutes.  It was really quite remarkable.  He was also encouraging the children to DREAM BIG.  I just love that and I loved him.  Super enjoyable.

     We visited this website in the computer lab today.  Keep on practicing your money counting.

     Our pen pal letters are finished and ready to be sent.  I hope they write back soon.
