Today we had a VERY special guest! Ms. Debra Stevens came and showed us how to make caviar... well, not the fish egg type but the spherical candy type made out of Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper!! Here are a few pictures from this totally cool and awesome event!! Here is the Spherification Outline!

The End is Near...

As we quickly approach the end of the 2011-2012 school year, I would like to take a moment to thank all of completely awesome students and their outstanding parents. I have watched our babies grow this year (and last year as well for some of them). They have pushed their limits and expanded their boundaries along this journey we call forth grade. Each of my students brings some special and unique talent or characteristic to class each day they are here. As their teacher, I have learned so much from them. They have taught me to laugh more, be serious less, and it is ok to have an occasional "Epic Fail" from time to time... We can't be right all the time and we wont be right the first time-every time. That doesn't matter. What matters and my hope for each of my students is that they leave forth grade knowing that sometimes being wrong is on the only path to being right. We learn when we mess up and those mistakes help us as we continue on. Understanding that those “mess-ups" can correct and help us lead us to higher levels of thinking, learning, and even life. The wonderful group of babies... no, the wonderful group of young men and ladies I have had the pleasure of teaching this year, have taught me just that. So, to all of my students past and present; THANK YOU!! Thank you for enriching my life and teaching me every step along the way!  =0)
