Snow at Kaufman! Real Snow!
On Friday, December 4, 2009, just before we went to Specials in the morning, the kids noticed that it was snowing! Everyone threw on their jackets and gloves and ran outside for a few minutes. The kids were so excited and amazed. Throughout the day, we would repeat the same routine - grab the coats, and run outside. Here are a few photos of our Texas snow. It's hard to see the flakes, and it did not accumulate, but it was enough to make some second graders very happy!

Ladybugs Fly to a New Home
Yesterday, we released our ladybugs, which we have had since the larva stage. We saw them turn into the pupa stage, then emerge as tender little ladybugs. After a week or so, they seemed stronger and ready to fly. We took them to Gail's Forest in front of the school, and watched them slowly fly off. One stubborn little ladybug stayed all night in the ladybug land, but finally flew off into the sun at the end of the next school day.

Sad Goodbye to Mrs. Cole
We were fortunate to welcome Mrs. Cole into our classroom for several weeks, as she finishes up her last year of teacher training at Sam Houston State University. On Friday, November 13, we wished her a sad farewell, but she promised to visit us as often as possible. The students presented her with cards, notes, and a bag of goodies to start off with when she begins teaching in Fall of 2010.
