Valentine's Day

What a LOVE-ly day 2C had last Friday, February 12! We spent the afternoon watching an original Alvin and the Chipmunks Valentine episode. Followed by a very fun Valentine's Party! Thanks to the parents who helped make it a special day for the kiddos!

You will be missed Mrs. Good!

How lucky we were to have Mrs. Mary Good as the substitute teacher while I was gone on Maternity Leave. Mrs. Good was great and the kiddos sure loved having her! Thank you Mrs. Good!




Baby Zenith is Here!

Friends-
Sorry for not keeping current on the blog. I have been busy figuring out what life is like as a family of 6! Zenith Rose made her appearance on November 30th and has made our hearts full and our eyes sleepy, but we wouldn't have it any other way! We are blessed!

What a bunch of "Cute & Corny" Second Graders

A big thanks to the families who were able to make it to our 2nd Grade Family Fun Night on October 21st! We had a great time! The evening started with learning what Accelerated Reader is. We then played a great math game that was fun and had us up and moving! Next, we headed into the gym for the Annual 2nd Grade Pumpkin Rolling Contest! finally, we ended the wonderful night with some sweet treats! Thanks again for all the support you give your 2nd Grader!!!!
