Only in Ramona… We used to be the turkey capital of the world! Well, a flock decided to cross the road…seems like there should be a riddle concerning turkeys crossing the road! hmmmm…

What a great assembly we had! Here is Ned reminding us to Never Give Up, Encourage Others and to Do Your Best! It doesn’t get better than this kids!

Here is our quiet classroom. It is ready to go for the start of school and  tomorrow’s new 3rd and 4th grade students! It will be a fun year of learning! I can’t wait!!!

I received this gift of a cactus at the end of the last school year.  This is my favorite cactus and it is growing and growing! I think they are very interesting plants. Cacti (plural) are desert plants that live without water for long periods of time. When it does rain, cacti have fibrous roots to catch rain water from the earth’s surface. The spines of a cactus are its leaves and help to protect it from predators. Soon, I will have to replant this little guy in a bigger pot! :>)

Reading books is really important to us! We share our enthusiasm for reading with our Kinder Buddies every Friday. We love choosing a book from our school library and sitting in the shade reading to our friends in kindergarten.

Sweet memories….

It is hard to say good-bye to summer fun, long lazy days, picnics, vacations, and watermelon…

“Can you do this, Mrs. Franz?”

“Ah, no…”

Here is a Turkey Vulture stopping in for lunch on campus!

Look at the amazing things you can create using Legos!
