    Hi
    I just wanted you know that your blog is looking fantastic. I love the layout, it is very clear and easy to navigate your way around.
    I have a question, do you want any parents to come in during the celebration of Friday or is it students only?
    Bye for now

  11. kpower Says:

    Wow, Mrs Speece, your class are doing so many exciting things lately. I am so happy that Hannah is in a class where her teacher is so tech savvy! Surely between you, her dad and I some of this tech knowledge will rub off on her! She is loving all your interactive lessons.

  12. kimbra Says:

    Hi Mrs Speece (and Carlos) we have spent tonight going to Isabelle’s blog as well as Hannah listening to creature from the black lagoon and playing spelling city, something my class also enjoys.
    Blogs are such a great source of interactive information, keep up the great effort, it is worth all the work we do when I see first hand what it means to the students.
    Mrs Power

  13. vicki Says:

    Had to come by and visit when @spower tweeted about the 2nd grade teachers and children on Twitter. I plan to use your blog as “show-and-tell” for my college students. This is a wonderful example of meaningful family engagement in young children’s education. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi buddies! We enjoyed reading your notes to us today! It was great finding out all the neat things about you and where you live. Guess what? It snowed last night, and it snowed so much that we had a two hour delay to school today. We didn’t come to school until 10:45 in the morning! It was a short day, but we had lots of fun learning! We hope you like your Christmas letters we sent to you. You might not get them until you return to school after Christmas…sorry about that! It was great to hear from you all! Merry Christmas!

    To Kyle and his classmates,

    What a great opportunity it must have been to be a scientist at school! You must of had lots of fun observing your new classmate and predicting what it will do next. If you can, try to feed the katydid sugar water with an eyedropper. It will love the taste. Did you know that at one time the katydids were on the endangered species list…meaning that if you harmed or hurt one you could get into big trouble! I liked the picture of your katydid too:)

    Take care and Kyle, I will see you in the USA at Christmas!
    Hugs and Kisses,
    Aunt Ju-Ju
