3rd grade mainlesson pics and Lunch time

Homework drawing of our house
Some native american story about killing a deer....I need to ask her what the story was again


I make the same lunch for both my girls....But here is a sample of the kind of lunch I send them with.
We use only containers that can be reused....metal water bottle, cloth sandwich wraps, plastic, glass or metal food containers and a cloth lunch bag.......ALL these things help with saving the environment.

the 8th grade and I are going to Hawaii!

So at our school we have tried to form a specialty teacher "guardian" friendship with a chosen grade. I chose to work with 8th grade, the movement teacher works with the 7th grade the upper school Spanish teacher works with the 6th grade etc.

So when the 8th grade is needing extra support or in cases where they are going on a field trip and need extra faculty members....the guardian steps in.

So it's time for the graduating class to go on their class trip.....

we will be camping and swimming with the dolphins and scuba diving, hiking into a volcano etc.....


should be fun.......
we leave in May...................WOW!
