Every summer, the blog switches over from daily classroom news to fun summer news of interest to our class and the incoming class.  One tradition is to post photos of our community reading in all sorts of fascinating summer places.  Mrs. Shedd, our class reading champion who beats us all every year, sent this photo today of reading to her grandchildren in Michigan.  Our first reader reporting in!

I also just finished gluing her tea party thank you note to go with her thank you grocery gift card.  Each student designed a teacup that showed his or her personality in some way, and it came out so very cute.  Ta da!
