On a personal note...I finished the 2015 Chicago Marathon!  It was wonderful having my sweet family there when I FINALLY crossed the finish line!

Character Day 2015 was a blast!  Thank you for letting your sweet child enjoy this exciting day at WSE!

The 2015-2016 school year is off to a great start!  The children are learning the routines and how to work together.  One of our writing skills is to add labels.  In the pictures shown, the students were working with a partner to create a picture.  They had to agree on what to draw and add labels to the drawing.  I was very pleased at how well they worked together and the quality of their work.  Great job 1-04!

The only thing missing is YOU!  Welcome to the 2015-16 school year.  I look forward to meeting my new first graders.  I hope you are ready for an amazing journey!

We literally ended the year with a bang thanks to Home Depot!  The children enjoyed making bird houses with about 10 Home Depot employees. A huge thanks goes to them for donating their time and resources for White Station Elementary kindergarteners and first graders!

WOW!! That's the word that sums up our Career Day this week.  Believe it or not, these are just a few of the people that came out to teach our WSE students about their careers.  The children had an exciting day for sure!  Thanks to all who came out...it was perfect!

Today was the perfect day for our special visit from the Memphis Botanic Garden.  We learned how our clothing comes from plants and animals.  The students touched cotton, camel, and wool.  They also learned how natural materials such as flowers and shells are used to dye material.  The final step was tie dying our t-shirts.  We will wear these shirts Friday for our annual Field Day!
