Ashley P turned 10 years old today! We looked for grey hair - didn't find any - and we looked for wrinkles. I actually didn't notice any at first, but then some of the acute observers in room 8 DID notice slight wrinkles directly under Ashley's eyes. We decided that she was definitely holding her age well!
Yesterday was not Syd's best. This is what happened when she was playing out in the wood chips. This picture was taken today, 24 hours later...plus, as you can see, instead of stitches, she was glued back together. We were glad to see her back today.
Room 8 seems to be so excited when it's an inside recess! Somedays...when the wind is blowing and it's so c-o-l-d, I don't blame them at all. Here are some photos from this week when it was a "rainy day recess."
All the fourth graders went together to the Logging Conference. Cole's dad, John, was our guide...and what a great time we had! We saw equipment...a wildlife show...the logger competition...a helicopter take off...and a yarder in action. We also got to ride on the 'Steam Donkey.' Thank you to all the parents who went with us and helped to make it so successful!
Collin is now 21 years old...but he was a Room 8'er both when he was 7 years old (and in the 2nd grade) and again when he was 11 and a 6th grader! He came home to visit for his spring break and came and told us all about becoming a mining engineer and working in a salt mine, coal mine, and a gold mine! We enjoyed having him come...and boy did we have the questions!
Our very own Amanda took a trip to Mexico in January with her parents. They went to help do some dental work...what an experience!
