Megan meets

Megan had a wonderful opportunity through her FFA program at school to meet

a Agriculture Icon.  The lady she met was Dr. Temple Grandin.  She spoke to

the kids about Animal Handling and her journey with autism!

There is also a wonderful movie that Megan, Jade and I recommend watching titled:

A Boy and his Best Friend

There is nothing more special than a boy and his dog.  Briggor and our newest edition, Reagan, are best buddies.  This beautiful German Shepherd is just over a year old.

She is a cuddler and so loyal!

Walk Thru The American Revolution

Briggor's 5th grade class had a wonderful experience with a

in-school field trip:

WALK THROUGH THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION  

This is directly from the website:

"Welcome to Walk Through the American Revolution™! This presentation is designed to allow your students to actively participate in a lively retelling of our nation’s beginnings.  Through the use of games, music, and storytelling, history will come alive!

This dynamic program has become one of our most popular classroom experiences. Students explore the famous events, historical figures, and relevant vocabulary of this pivotal point in America’s history. Through dramatic activities, students “become” famous men and women of the American Revolution. Flags, maps, re-enactments, music, and games help students explore and understand the importance of American liberty and patriotism."

Briggor portrayed Thomas Jefferson!!!

5th Grade State Prohect

Guess what state Briggor did his Open House project on?

It took approx 2 weeks to gather the materials and assemble this project.  It was really fun! We used quite a few different items; shoe box, construction paper, tissue paper, snow Tex paint, scrap booking supplies, cotton balls.  

California Science Center

Over Spring Break, Jade, Briggor, Briggor's friend, Blayden and I headed south to spend the day at the

CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER

in Los Angeles.

The special exhibit at the time we were there was the Journey to Space.

They are encouraging the children to explore the idea of astronauts traveling to Mars

in their lifetimes. 

The boys had a great time.  We enjoyed beautiful weather and

pizza on the patio for lunch.

At the end of our day we saw the IMAX movie-

Journey into Space.

Great day for everyone!!
