Chase's Class Sharing

Here's a funny story.  Chase had to share about someone who is special to him and tell why they are special.  He chose me.  I came to his class for "sharing" and when I got there his teacher took me aside and told me he didn't have a lunch or money for milk that day.  He was very upset at lunch time and all his classmates knew that I had forgotten to make his lunch.  But even after all that he still stood up and told everyone that I am special to him because I take good care of him. 

 

Class Play

Indy's fourth grade class did a play about Martin Luther King Jr.'s.  Indy had two parts; a child in class and a passenger on the bus with Rosa Parks.

The Wacky Olympics

The Goffstown School District had the first Wacky Olympics.  Each school had a team (made up of teachers and staff) that competed in events like balloon field hockey, hula hoop relay and cookie staking.  The event raise money for kids in the schools who otherwise would not be able to afford to take the SAT's or go on field trips.

The American Independence Museum

Indy and I had a great time on her field trip to the American Independence Museum in Exeter, NH.  The museum is a house built in 1721 and is a trip back in time to the American Revolution.  The kids were given a card in each room and at the end of the tour they glued them in a booklet to take home.
