Great job Jacey and Emilie!!

This week we had Marvelous Marin!

Marin showed off her family on her fun SHINY poster!

We enjoyed learning about her mom & dad, brothers & sisters, grandparents, and cousins!

Marin's mom, Elizabeth McCarthy, is a fabulous cook!  

She and Marin made delicious cupcakes & shared them with the class!

 A BIG "thank you" to Mrs. McCarthy for spending time with us and teaching us about cooking!  We love that you introduce new foods to us each week and teach us about manners!

Marin's dad, Bob McCarthy, came to school on Friday, read us a book, and told us about his job.  Mr. McCarthy is a real-life "Bob the Builder"!!  

Mr. McCarthy's companies pour cement, build cabinets & shelving, and much more!

Mr. McCarthy brought each of the kids a kit to build either a locker or school bus at home!  He, Marin, and the class built one together and learned how to organize all the materials and read the directions.

Thank you to the McCarthys for a fun week and for sharing your time with us!!

This week we met our Freshman Bible Buddies!

We listened to the story of Noah...

acted out building the ark...

and had fun acting like pairs of animals filing aboard!

We will be meeting with our Freshman Bible Buddies several more times throughout the school year.  It's always so much fun!

Way to go Karis!!  She read 15 books!

 We had a great time on our first Field Trip!

We visited the Fort Worth Nature Center.

There was so much to see!

In the picture above, the kids were hoping to spot an alligator in the water!

Whooo!!  Whooo!!  

I think the owl was just as interested in us as we were in him!!

Mavanee found a snail shell!  

We look, but don't take, so she left it for others to find!

Ms. Charlotte taught us so much on our hike!

Mr. Kunkel came to our classroom and told us all about his jobs!

He is a builder, owns rental homes, and owns several self-serve car washes in the Fort Worth/Arlington area.

In the picture above, the students sorted quarters from tokens from one of the Kunkels' car washes...It was a big job!  Each student was able to take home one of each for their hard work!  In the picture below, the students are 

washing, rinsing, and drying cars.  They enjoyed "working" hard! 

Thank you to the Kunkel family for spending your time with us and letting us get to know you better!  We had so much fun with your family!
