Virtual Tour

Wednesday night was our open house and I was bummed to see that I had about 7 "no-shows" but it was still a good time and I was excited to see the many new faces who will be my students or parents this year :-)
If you missed it (or want to look again), here is a little tour of my classroom (different from last year)

our lunch count station

coat and book bag hooks

storage space above sink

morning meeting station

our back to school book rack

Mrs. Eckenrode's desk (soon to be decorated with polka dots)

students' mailboxes (they already have mail in them!)

we sit at tables in our classroom

Luhrs Adventure

The past two years, our kindergarten class (along with other classrooms at New Franklin Elementary) has taken an extra field trip up to Luhrs Performing Arts Center  to see a play/musical. This has only been made possible because parents pay their own way and ride themselves up to Shippensburg.
Two years ago, we saw Click Clack Moo and last year we went to see Seussical.
A few weeks ago, I got the schedule for this season @ Luhrs and I about screamed out loud from excitement!! SkippyJon Jones, that adorable little Siamese cat that thinks it is a Chihuahua, is about to hit the  stage and we are going to be there as close as we can get.

If you are unfamiliar with the cute character of SkippyJon, now is the perfect time to get acquainted. Currently, Kohls has various SkippyJon Jones books and stuffed animals as their Kohls Cares promotion books. If you want to check out these books before purchasing, check out your local library shelves all written by Judy Schachner. He even has his own website :-)
