Author's Tea

Our author's tea was a fine opportunity to discuss child-created literature. Thank you for celebrating reading and writing with us!

I will post the rest of the pictures Mrs. Weyhrich took to www.flickr.com/missreedsclass.

Eagle Creek/Fish Hatchery

It was a wonderful field trip. The salmon spawning was the best example our biologist friend (and father of Rowan), Dan Vassar(sp?) had seen in years!
For the complete set of pictures please visit www.flickr.com/missreedsclass. To download pics of your child, you can double click on the photo, then drag it to your desktop (mac) or right click and copy to your desktop (PC).

PS. I am currently at home recovering from an emergency gallbladder removal. The fabulous, capable and patient Miss Bekah Tucker will be making our classroom work this week. Miss Tucker was Mrs. Hanes' student teacher in the fall and has been Mrs. Chiu's long term sub in both the spring and fall of 09. The kids know her, the school knows her, and I am so grateful she was available all week. Please support her as much as you can. I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone next week. - Best, Miss Reed

Drama Photos!

These are a few photos from Drama time! A favorite time for children to engage in imaginative play whilst participating in our classroom community.
The basic plot of the play is as follows: A mother and a father go fishing in a rowboat for salmon. A villain keeps a princess in a tower. A dog says woof woof! Everybody bows. It is a little absurdist, but gives children the opportunity to direct, act, speak in public, perhaps more importantly, to play a role and receive praise.
