Read-Aloud Surprise!

Who doesn't love to start a Monday with a surprise... our next read-aloud book! I loved doing this in my own classroom, and enjoy Surprising Henry this year during e-learning!

Happy 1st Day of School

Happy First Day of elearning!  

Geocaching in Pontiac!

One last summer adventure before school begins!  We headed on a geocaching day in Pontiac, Illinois.  Very cool city with so much history, tons of geocaches, and some interesting things to see!

Elearning-- Meet your Co-Teachers & School Supply "unpacking"

Back to School Week Begins! I have NO clue how this school year will look... taking it quarter by quarter. After stressing for a few weeks which option works best for us, we are starting with e-learning. Not how we want school to start, but going to make the best of it! Trying to get them pumped up and in school-mode so....today was "School Supply Drop-Off & Meet their Co-Teachers". I channeled my inner-teacher, and redid the playroom (made me feel a little more in control of this uncertain beginning of the year times).

                                                                 

Camping on the Mississippi

This weekend, we lucked out with a last minute campsite right on the river at Clark's Ferry in Iowa.

Happy 14th Birthday!

14?!?!  Time needs to slow down! What better way to celebrate than a camping trip near St. Louis!
