Exploration Day

Exploration Day was last Thursday... it was an absolutely wonderful day. I've never been more thankful that I took many pictures than I am now.

Tragedy struck Room 8 Monday afternoon. Our precious Nicole was taken from us in a tragic car accident. Room 8 is devastated. I know many have been coming to Room 8 News and looking at pictures, so I decided to go ahead and put these on now.

Tuesday, as we were all talking, several Room 8ers said that Nicole was still a part of us - Absolutely! One of Kaia's responses, 'I feel like a part of me is missing.' There is... there is a part of all of us that is now missing.

As I was loading my pictures from Exploration Day onto the computer, I realized how many I had taken of Nicole that day. I'm posting them here, along with many other Room 8ers. We're all so thankful for wonderful memories!

Dear Mrs.Johnston,
I really miss room 8 and you. I also wanted to tell you that I started reading Running Out of Time. I am on chapter 21 and about to finish reading the book. Please tell everyone hi for me.
From,

Hi Faith,
We all miss you... a lot! We were just talking about you today. We were talking about flip-flops and that led to talking about the day you wore them (and didn't know you weren't suppose to)... and then we talked about missing you. I hope you're enjoying your new class...
