Unexpected Corps of Discovery Treasure Chest

In a few weeks, our new class will become the 2024-2025 Corps of Discovery!  What a thrilling year is ahead of us!

Today I received a teacher’s dream treasure chest of learning excitement from the Bells, one of our upcoming third grade families.  Unbelievable!  They have family connections out in Oregon and have blessed us with some engaging surprises.  Here’s a sneak peek . . . .

Stay in summer mode:  read those books, swim in all the lakes, eat the s’mores, visit the relatives, chase the fireflies, . . . . But know that there’s a GREAT YEAR COMING!

Step Up Day!

Celebrating another step in life, possibilities, growth, the excitement of what’s ahead, . . . .

I challenge you not to laugh as you look at this series of attempts to get a good shot.  Do you think we are excited about new friendships, learning together, and the joy of creating classroom community?  Huzzah!

The annual August “spring cleaning” means plugging away a bit day by day, and it pretty much looks worse before it looks better.

These lovely helpers came yesterday to help power through a lot of the jobs!  We scrubbed, and we stickered, and we lugged, and we organized!  The great company made the day a blast!
