4th grade ROCKS!

Last Friday (Halloween) the girls both had parties in their classrooms, and 1/2 day of school. In Zoey's class they had a "Harvest" party as they really don't celebrate Halloween. The party was awesome, and I loved spending some time with some 4th graders. Especially this one...

 

The whole school was asked to dress in something green, as part of their "Red Ribbon Week" which is focused on the fight against drug use. This year's theme had something to do with frogs and "Leaping away from drugs", therefore the green outfits. The classroom actually looked like it was St. Patrick's day.

 

There were games and crafts, and a celebration of Mrs. Klitzing's baptism birthday as her actual birthday falls in the summer and would not be celebrated during the school year. I continue to be impressed with the way she, a first year teacher, is handling the classroom. The kids love her, but have a great deal of respect for her, and work hard to please her. She is young, pretty, and fun...but also expects hard work and keeps the class in check, not an easy task with a room full of 9 and 10 year olds.

 

BINGO!!!!!!

 

How blessed we are to have our girls in this environment. So much goodness and genuine caring.
