When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. Sophia Loren

Hi there. Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms! I so enjoyed my day starting with a homemade breakfast in bed from my kids. Nothing like Poptarts and raspberries with a Sunny D to show your mom love. :0) We then enjoyed a wonderful service at church and then a family dinner made by the husbands. Now, it is relax time for the rest of the day. I hope your's was just as awesome. I felt for all of you that celebrated outside watching your kid's play sports all weekend! Brrrr!

Hopefully your kiddo gave you their little card they made with the picture of your egg grandchild. :0) I loved reading their letters to you. Precious!

If you did not read the post below this one that I posted on Friday about the field trip, please do so. Also, thank you all so very much for spoiling me last week. I will enjoy shopping with my class Amazon Card this summer. I have a basketful of things I have wanted in my cart for awhile now. Thanks!!! A HUGE thank you also to Avery's mom for organizing our fun donut celebration at the end of the day. Glazed donuts for everyone...except me! I got the only maple bar!!!! There must have been a little birdie in the classroom that shared my love for those! :0) Your kindness filled my bucket and my belly!!! Thanks again.

We don't have a field trip this week. So, it will be work as usual. I graded a MILLION papers this weekend. There is A LOT of missing work that is bringing down kid's grades. Please check online to see if this applies to your kiddo and have them finish it up soon. I also have a TON of papers with no names on them. Yikes! Kids will be able to check those out and claim them tomorrow.

Miss. Kyra was star of the week last week. I LOVE that she loves such fun hobbies like card collecting. She also loves to read (yay!!!), play UNO, and shares a BFF big eyed stuffed animal with Hanna. Fun! Thanks for sharing with us Kyra!



It was fun to go around the school and deliver the cards the kids made last week for homework to some of their favorite teachers. I know it sure made those teacher's day! So thoughtful!




We will be back to spelling this week. I was not happy with the results or challenge of the new spelling series, so we are back to the book. There will once again be challenge words. The test will be on Friday.

The big 50 states and capital's test will be this Thursday. We have done many review sheets to help with this review...and review it should be. All year long the kids have been told to keep working on these. All our iPad/computer time will be reserved for playing some games/apps that will help the studying process as well. Remember, the location of the 50 states will be totally optional. The matching of the 50 states and capitals will be mandatory. They will NOT need to know how to spell them. It will be strictly matching.

Well, have a wonderful week.
