We are Bucket Fillers!!!!!

Our class is committed to being bucket fillers, not bucket dippers, and we work on filling each other's buckets each week of school. We made neat little paper buckets to put outside our door, and every Friday we get to read all of our little bucket filling notes from each other. Last Friday was our first day to read each other's notes, and we were all smiles!! 

Camryn Bass was our first "Star of the Week"!! We learned a lot about Camryn, and she had fun being our star!! She brought Blow Pops in her "Guessing Sack"! Her mom wrote a very special letter about her, and Camryn loved listening to Mrs. V. read it! Her "Mystery Reader" was her mom, and she read Thunder Cake to us! 

Franky has fun at Mrs. V.'s house!

This summer Franky stayed with Mrs. V. and her family. Here are some pictures from his adventures at her house.

Hi Boys and Girls! My name is Franky and I'm your class pet frog. I'm not as mobile as Smoky, but I'm magical. I like to tell stories about my adventures at your houses, but I need you to write for me. I'll whisper in your ear. I have had a lot of fun with Mrs. V.'s family this summer! I just got back from a trip to the Ozarks. I got to visit Mrs. V.'s son , Eric. Mrs. V. and Paige went para-sailing! I watched from the water. I swam in Mrs. V.'s pool a lot because I LOVE water!! I also got terrorized by her two dogs, Marley and Annie. Mrs. V. made me help Paige fold towels and underwear! Yuck! I only borrowed a few cookies when they went to bed. Now I am so excited to come to your houses this year! But please don't make me do chores! Love, Franky
