Mystery Reader




We started our Mystery Reader on Fridays!

Thank you for those who have signed up to do this! So far, it has been a great success. 












 A book about a young girl named Clara who helped change labor laws for girls and children.

 Some great Caldecott books! Check out Joan Hobub. She has written over 130 books. The students really enjoyed this book by her!

The Caldecott Award ceremony is next Monday the 27th. We cannot wait to watch it!

Filling up the marble jar

We filled up the marble jar for their good behavior. Yay!! The students are having free time here.
Some are playing games and others wanted to art. Congrats class! Keep up the good work.

Last days in Italy

It has been a fun trip but it is now time to come home and get back to the classroom.

This is the ancient town of Pompeii. A volcano erupted over 2,000 years ago and covered the whole town in ash.

I enjoyed eating my pizza in Naples. This is the city where pizza was first invented.


This is the colosseum. It was the first stadium built and was a major influence on the way all stadiums and arenas look today.
