May 11. 2020

Ben and his brother listen to today's read-a-loud.
Good Morning,'
  I hope you all had a great weekend and all of the mothers from the classroom were spoiled beyond belief.  I was grateful that I got to go up and visit my mom as well as my wife's mom.  I had a lot of FUN shoveling off the deck and breaking the snow brush back out to wipe off the cars.  Really made for a great start to Saturday (yes that is sarcasm Sheldon).

Important Notice:
  There will not be a writing class tomorrow.  I will be on a webinar at 9:30 (right after morning meeting) and some kids need a day to finish up the prompts they have started..  It would be a great time to make sure your child is caught up on the prompts that we have done so far.  You can check their completion status here.  We will have a new live lesson on Thursday.

Today we read the story Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown.  "This is rollicking, and humorous twist on the classic “first pet” story about a young bear and her favorite pet boy! When Lucy, a young bear, discovers a boy in the woods, she’s absolutely delighted. She brings him home  and begs her mom to let her keep him, even though her mom warns, “Children make terrible pets.” But mom relents, and Lucy gets to name her new pet Squeaker. Through a series of hilarious and surprising scenes, readers can join Lucy and Squeaker on their day of fun and decide for themselves whether or not children really do make terrible pets."

As kids do different things, throughout the distance learning experience, I ask that they send pictures to me to put on the blog.  Below are a few of today's entries.  Feel free to send anything along via email or text.

Have a great day!

Peace,Tommy
