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! 

Well, we survived SAT-10 testing!! Yipee!! 

Our week ended with a wonderful surprise from the Chipley family.  Check out our new class shirts!  Casebolt Champions are ready to rock Field Day in style!!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart! :)

We have been so busy taking our SAT-10 tests this week. They have worked super hard. I am pleased with how well they have stayed focused and trying their very best.  As a fun way to help get them ready for the final day of testing, the students enjoyed some laptop time on our fancy new HP laptops!

There are a million reasons why I love being a teacher and this is one of them!  First Graders LOVE their teachers and this note melted my heart this morning.  My kiddos knew I was waiting on "pins and needles" to find out if I was selected to run in the Chicago Marathon (and I was:)). This note is one I'll cherish for a lifetime!
