Help End World Hunger

     I have to thank Ms. Herrera for this site.  I saw it on her blog and felt that I needed to add it to my blog as well.  It is a vocabulary building site that donates rice each time you correctly define a word.  Check it out.

Congratulations Mrs. Robinson!





     Mrs. Robinson's last day with us was today. We are so sad to see her go! We will miss her so much! We had some cake to celebrate her success. She will be venturing to Pennsylvania after she graduates from college. However, she will still be keeping in touch with us via the blog and email. She has even agreed to take Proud Panther on ANOTHER trip to Mexico to see the ruins. She will be shipping him back once his trip is done. She will also be taking lots of pictures of him and posting them on the blog. We look forward to his adventures. Good luck Mrs. Robinson and we will miss you!

The Symphony

Wonderful Resource

     Another teacher recently recommended a site to me that I just HAD to share. It is called Into the Book. If you click on the teacher side, you can access videos about the various reading strategies. You can watch a video that explains questiongin or vsualizing or even inferring. If you have the chance, please feel free to check this site out. It will provide you with information you can use at home to help improve your child's reading comprehension.

Faculty Kickball Game

     Well, to celebrate School Spirit Week, our school held its annual Faculty Kickball Game. It was a BLAST! The kids loved watching the teachers and the teachers enjoyed the chance to play a game. Here are some shots of our fun morning. By the way, way to go BLUE!

Mrs. Robinson's England Trip

     Mrs. Robinson and Proud Panther recently returned from a trip to Plymouth, England. She was kind enough to share all sorts of pictures with the class today. Below you will find a slideshow of some of the places she and Proud Panther visited. If you have a chance, be sure to thank her as well since she was also kind enough to bring back some chocolates as well for us. (The chocolates were FABULOUS!)
