Dangerous Journey

It was a day eagerly awaited by all and yet most anticipated by the Grade Two class who had more than an inkling of what was coming. Periodically throughout the year we had been talking about Dangerous Journey and wondering if it would get read to them this year.

Indeed!

This year we also had the illustrations projected up on the screen for a better look at the pictures. The students made themselves comfortable in their desks, turned their eyes toward the pictures or the reader and sat back to enjoy the read.

And take a closer look at the picture below: as Grade Two had surmised, yes treats were again part of the deal.

They were a rapt audience!

Thanks for reading to us Mrs. Twinkle!

dandelions ARE lovely!

This was so cute. The Grade Ones finally received their Bibles and they were thrilled beyond belief. At the first opportunity they raced off to the reading corner, Bible in hand, and excitedly started reading.

"I found Daniel!"

"I found Genesis!"

"I found Psalms!"

And now I have a bunch of them starting in Genesis and reading. One is now on Chapter 17 :)

Here's our annual trek into the neighbour farmer's field for our picture with the dandelions. I think they look cute in there. I think though I may have to repost this post since I think the pictures got emailed to my post in a small size and they won't be suitable for downloading

...that is if you do that kind of thing...

Grandparents' Day

Here we go!  Tonight I was told that I really should update this blog.  I'm very obedient you see.. ;)

These are photos recovered from my old crashed PC and transferred to my brand new Mac.  This is hopefully not as crash-able and it is definitely much easier to back up.  I don't think I'll be losing many pictures in the future.

Grandparents' Day!  It was a wild and wooly day as I thumped around the classroom in my walking boot trying to teach something and take pictures and keep the chaos down to a dull roar.  You may be able to tell from some of the pictures that goofiness definitely ensued.
