This past Monday we had the opportunity to Skype again with Kate McMullan!  This time our classroom was able to share her with the rest of our school for our Reading Kick-Off!  She inspired and entertained each of the approx. 600 students here at our school to be readers who LOVE reading!  She even shared some of the books that have been a part of her family over the years!  
We are always blessed by her words of encouragement and her generosity!  

Thank YOU, Mrs. McMullan!

MES Reading Kick-Off By: Mrs. Hall

Today we were treated to the events that encompassed the MES Reading Kick-off!  It was a wonderful time to reflecting, learning, and pumping ourselves up to be readers!  Here are a few snapshots of today's events!  More media coverage is to follow!

A Visit from the "Cat in the Hat"

Hello, Cat in the Hat!

MES Cheerleaders help get us pumped up!
The amazing, the talented, Kate McMullan "Skyped" up from New York to share with our MES student body about the importance of reading!


Thank YOU, Mr. Feitshans By: Mrs. Hall


Our student teacher, Mr. Feitshans will continue to leave a lasting impact on the students in our classroom.  We are blessed by his teaching over the past few months.  Over spring break, he came back with a tangible gift that will forever be a part of "Mrs. Hall's Classroom"... he built this beautiful and sturdy set of mail boxes.  He crafted it with his talented grandfather, out of 200 year old Kentucky beech wood.  It will forever be a staple in our class!  Thank you, Mr. Feitshans!

…. It's been over a month By: Mrs. Hall

Logging on to our normally more active blog I see another month has flown by without a post!  This mainly speak to how BUSY our class has been creating "How To" projects and writing Fairy Tales…and MOSTLY spending time working on the process of the product, which can be so often over looked!

So I am pleased to announce that our blog will be "hopping" with posts, videos, and fairy tales to entertain and inspire all of our readers!  The following "How To" projects have left us informed… and most certainly entertained!
