First Day Of School

We had such a wonderful day today!  We spent a lot of time getting to know one another.  This is, by far, my most favorite part of the first day of school.  I just loved hearing all the stories the children shared about their summer.

One of the most important things we did, was have a class discussion about becoming "Bucket Fillers".  Here is a list that we wrote after reading the book, "Have You Filled Your Bucket Today?".


Don't forget that we do allow for a health snack.  It must be healthy and peanut - free.


Here is a little video I wanted to share with the pictures that I took from today and Meet the Teacher.



I'll send you a link to download them via "Dropbox".
If you haven't done so already, please remember to fill and update your student's information and volunteer registration.

  • If you were advertising for the Edith Moore Sanctuary, what features would you include? 
  • What kinds of pictures or vidos?

Winter

Hi friends!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have been selected to participate in a Grant that incorporates Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  I will get to see Winter and learn everything the trainers do!   I will also get to learn more about Sea Turtles and much more! This is SO exciting!

I'm hoping that I can SKYPE with you while there!

If you read this post, leave a question you would like answered from the trainers!  :)

Remember Bob?

Hey friends!  Do you remember Bob from 1st Grade?
Well, we found him!  Turns out, he has really enjoyed living in the pond we have in the back yard!  Almost a year to date, here is what Bob looks like now:
For a challenge (most likely 1 Magic Ticket), comment below and tell me anything you know about Frogs.  (Habitat, Life Cycle, Description, etc...)  Remember - do NOT use your first and last name.  Be safe on the internet!  Use only your initials!
