We had a Fabulous Dr. Seuss Week. The kids really did a great job dressing up each day. And our Friday Parade was very fun.
Our Class won 3rd place in the 2nd grade. The kids are ecstatic about it since they created their own fish to carry on their fishing poles. Our class book was McElligot's Pool and the story line is that nobody can catch a fish in that pool it is just where they throw junk. So the boy imagines that it connects to the ocean and then a whole lot of Dr. Seussy type fish are able to be caught.
We want to send a special thanks to Rachel's Mom for helping with the parade and being a guest reader. We also want to thank Mrs. Jacki for being a guest reader as well. Friday was read across America day. And... Our Gotcha party. We Smurf Danced with the wii. Most students in our class were able to attend. Hopefully next time all of us can. We are starting over to earn 6 gotchas to go to the next party. And then after that...Our incentive field trip gotcha party.

Thursdaya night I was pleased to see those of you who attended reading night. Thanks for coming.
