Baking Day and Auction Projects

We are working hard at getting our classroom auction projects ready for the school auction. We cannot wait to share with the community the projects we've designed and created for your enjoyment...and ours too!

First and second grade also spent the afternoon baking. Second grade read the story, Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco. Students learned about sequencing of events and learned the importance of order when baking. The little girl made Thunder Cake with her grandmother to distract her from the storm. On Friday, we made Thunder Cake Cupcakes using the recipe from our textbook. They were very interesting chocolate cupcakes....the secret ingredient is tomatoes. We had a blast making them.

Thank you Mrs. Price, Miss Christina, Mrs. D'Andrea, and Mrs. Magnuson for volunteering to help with baking and our auction projects. Thank you to Mr. Smythe for helping build the second grade project for us to paint.

Dear 1^st and 2^nd Grade families,

Wow! March is already here. Time sure is flying by when you are having fun. I cannot believe that we have already been in school for 120 days. I cannot even begin to explain how many new and exciting things your children have learned so far and it is just the beginning. They have such curious minds which makes my job so much fun!

As I approach the last two weeks of being your child's teacher before I leave for maternity leave, I'd like to just say thank you for sharing your child with me. I love teaching and they are the reason I come to school every day with a smile on my face. I sure will miss them while I am gone and I look forward to coming back to visit with baby Hudson when he arrives. I'd like to welcome Mrs. Carolyn Reynoso to our team as the long-term substitute who will fulfill my position until the end of the school year. She is very excited to take over and has already started transitioning into the position.

I wish everyone a happy Easter and a good rest of the school year. If you have any questions or would like to meet baby Hudson after he arrives, you can get my contact information in the office. I'd love to have visitors and for Hudson to meet our Visitation Community!

That is all the news I have for today. I will be uploading Mrs. Reynoso's monthly newsletters to the blog and any posts she wants me to share. I will also make a few posts of baby Hudson once he arrives. Stay tuned! His due date is April 6th but is already measuring two weeks early. We will see if he decides to make an early appearance. Have a blessed rest of the school year. 

Mrs. Muller and Baby Hudson
