Summer Stuff

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I haven't been doing much, lately, but relaxing! I read a book called, "Bleachers" by John Grisham. Please post what you have been up to this summer. I'll try to check back and leave comments.

Reflections of Third Grade

The school year is drawing to a close. Please write 5 sentences about things you have learned in Third Grade this year.

Ms. Ewert, Student Teacher

This is Ms. Ewert who has been our student-teacher since January. Last Friday, 4/24/09, was her last day with us. She was a GREAT teacher who cares very much for each of us in Mrs. Konecny's class. Ms. Ewert has been hired to teach 2nd grade next year for the Maize School District.

Please write 4-5 sentences about some things you learned from Ms. Ewert. You may also write some comments to Ms. Ewert.

Warm Fuzzies

Our school counselor, Mrs. Todd, taught us about being kind. She is ALWAYS kind to us and the other kids at our school. Mrs. Todd gave us a Warm Fuzzy that each of us is to pass around to our classmates along with a compliment.

Please write 4-5 sentences about this lesson with Mrs. Todd. You may write a warm fuzzy note to Mrs. Todd or write your thoughts about being kind to others.

Spring Break!

Spring Break time! What have you been doing during this week off of school? Leave me a message about what you've been doing.

On Monday, I visited my Grandma in McPherson, Kansas. She wanted to go to a dress shop in Lindsborg, Kansas, so I took her there. On Tuesday, I went back to school to get some cleaning done. You will have to check out my clean desk! Ms. Ewert was there, too. She was busy planning lessons for our class! I am typing this on Wednesday and today I did a little shopping for some scrapbooking supplies and got some laundry washed.

I hope you all are having a great Spring Break and that you read something during your time off.

Our friend, Scott

This is our friend, Scott. He plays hockey for our local team, The Wichita Thunder. Scott comes to our classroom every Monday for 30 minutes to work with us. Scott helps us with our math.

Here he is reading us a story called, "Z is for Zamboni," so we can learn a little about hockey.

Winter Break

I hope everyone is enjoying thier time off from school.

On December 20, I graduated with my Master's Degree from Emporia State University (see picture above). My parents and my husband traveled to Emporia, Kansas on Friday, December 19 so I could make a presentation. The four of us stayed in a hotel and then I graduated on Saturday. It was a big event! It took me nearly three years of hard work to earn this degree, so I was ready to graduate!

Let me know what you've been doing. Post at least 3-4 sentences telling about your winter break.

Be sure to check back and see if any classmates have posted some news.
