We had a very special visitor from France today. A friend of McIntosh's was visiting, and came to our class. Not only did she talk in French and answer their questions, she played the violin for them. We made a great connection between her learning to play the violin and Louis learning to play the trumpet. Making connections is a skill we have been working on, ask your child how we do it. Talk about connections they can make at home.
Thanks for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Day and week!!!!! I love my door. Your children are my happiness and joy everyday.....
Have a great weekend!

Who would have thought we could see and observe so many things at the Shorecrest Pond?
But, we did!!!!! Here are some pics of our pond trip today....please ask your child about it.

We had a great time at the Dali museum for our Culture and Art Appreciation field trip.
Here are a couple of pics to share. Please check my new blog later today or tomorrow for our pond photos.
