Enjoying your Summer?

Get ready for July 4th!! Anybody making plans? The Rowan's sure are!!! It will be the first time we have been in Jacksonville in about 4 years for the 4th of July! I am so excited to see and hang out with some of my friends!!

I have really been relaxing- taking a nap everyday!! I don't know how I missed this all year! (Probably because I wasn't staying up so late!) But how fun is summer? We have already been to the library and have great books we are all reading. Even Jackson is busy with his picture books and arts and crafts projects!

This week is VBS at church! We are having a great time!!! This is one of my all time favorite weeks in the summer! Our church does such a great job with VBS every year!!!!

Sunday Mrs. Yadon and I leave for DC! I can't wait!! DC is one of my all time favorite places. About 12 years ago I used to work there a few times a month! I just love the city and all the places to go. You can never be bored in DC :-)

Cough, Cough.... Can you believe the smoke? It is crazy!!! Yesterday when I was driving to VBS I was driving through smoke and ash. I remembered seeing pictures of the wildfires in California but I couldn't believe all the ash and smoke- it was crazy!!!

I hope you are enjoying your summer! I miss you guys - and so proud of what you accomplished this year!! It is always bittersweet to see you go, but I know you will rock it out as 6th graders!!

We have visitors!

Buttercup and Banana hatched Monday- Mrs. Wood was kind enough to care for them on Monday- and on Tuesday they were given to us to watch and observe for the week! They are so cute! We have studied how a chicken develops inside the egg - all the way to the hatching :-)

It has been an experience to here them chirping during our day! Friday, they will return to the farm and become laying hens! Exciting stuff to wrap-up our year!!

7 Days and Counting!

Wow- has it ever been busy around here! It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the year. Students are excited and nervous about heading to their respective middle schools- It is a big change for many of them as they think about all the possibilities that await them1

For the next 7 days we are jam packed! We are finishing up our Power Point Presentations for Social Studies and will present them next Monday and Tuesday.

Tuesday is our class party - Make sure you bring in your $5.00 - We are buying pizza, chips, and ice cream!

Wednesday is awards - 9:00 and our 5th grade party is following awards! We can use parents to help out :-)

Thursday - Orlando - Be at school at 6:30-

Friday - 1/2 day - make sure you are picked up at 12:00 !

Enjoy your final week at Beauclerc!
