We learned so much this morning and also had the opportunity to explore many hands-on science experiments.  Thanks a million to Mr. Walda for his vast knowledge and expertise!

Field Trip to the Van Andel Museum

Monday we had a fabulous day at the Van Andel Museum!  We started with a habitat tour and enjoyed our museum scavenger hunt and the carousel afterwards.  A huge thank you to all of my wonderful parent volunteers!!!

For the Week of May 6th.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather! I want to send a huge thank you to all of my wonderful parents that volunteered their time last week to go to Lansing with us. What an awesome day!!! I can’t believe that we are already only a month away from the end of school! Time flies when you’re having fun. Due to the fact that we have so many things going on, I will try to just send a weekly message about things to come for the week so that it doesn’t seem too overwhelming. May is a very busy month!

A Beautiful Day at the Capital!

I can't thank everyone enough for helping make another successful fun year in Lansing.  What an incredible day!  I tried to get pictures of everyone,but a few friends were doing their best to avoid the camera.  I'll have to snap a few shots at school when they don't know I'm there:)
