END OF SUMMER SCHOOL!!!

First off, I want to thank each of my students for being such stupendous students. We shared our thought, laughs and learning over these 5 awesome weeks. 
I also wanted to thank Kaycee Ojeda for putting together the best summer school ever! Her enthusiasm, helpfulness and flexibility really were wonderful qualities she possessed over the summer here. 
I am going to miss all of my kiddos, but now I will need to start planning for my own 3rd grade classroom at Barnes Elementary starting on September 3rd!!! Wish me luck as we plunge into a new year and new adventure. 
My 3rd grade blog is below if you would like to see what Mr. M is doing next year in 3rd grade. 


Best Wishes,
Mr. M

SPECIAL GUEST TEACHER

On Tuesday Mr. M was out sick and we had a special guest teacher take over the class for a day…

It was Ms. Ojeda, the wonderful and powerful leader of Elmonica Summer School.

She really had a fun time. Thank you to all my kiddos for making her day FUN!!!!


HATCHED EGGS!!!!

We finally found out what the little insects were!!!

Take a look below:




 It looks like they are little baby spiders. Mr. M decided to put an extra tissue on top because spiders are very creepy and Mr. M has a slight fear (When I mean slight I mean a BIG fear) of spiders!!!
