Hello to All My Wonderful Students,

I have not signed on the blog as I have been busy traveling! We have been to Connor's Lacrosse games across the states. I have just returned from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a very long drive, but worth seeing Connor play lacrosse with northern teams and his  exposure to different styles of play. On our ride to Philly it  was smooth sailing until we got to Washington DC and then we hit traffic and crazy drivers, I was a mess! It was a very nerve racking ride, going very fast and then stopping very quickly does not make for a smooth ride and I got car sick, I never get car sick! We arrived safely and enjoyed our time in Philly. We saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. We walked around the city of  Brotherly Love! It was great to see Connor and the other kids experience the city of Brotherly Love!

On our way home we rode the Shenandoah Valley Scenic Road., it was an inspiring and beautiful ride. We saw many wonderful sites as well as wild life. I can tell you all I saw a BEAR! It was as big as a large dog running across the road! It was an amazing sight and I was very glad that I was in the car! I hope to be able to show you all my pictures when school starts to share the beautiful scenery.
Our next stop was the Natural Bridge in Virginia. This bridge was built by nature and is over 500 million years old, can you believe that! I walked where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson walked! George Washington carved his initials in the bridge, it was an incredible sigh and his initials were still there!

As I have been traveling I have been reading the books that we have to read over the summer. I am hoping that others are reading as well. I have read Star in the Storm in which it is a true story about a Newfoundland dog. I have also read Fly Girl which I know is not on the list, but a very good read. It is about an African American Girl who flew planes during World War II. Is anybody interested in reading any of these books? I have also read, The Chocolate Touch, White Star and  I am re-reading Midnight Magic. I hope that everyone is reading Midnight Magic, because this is the book Ms. Ava has chosen for everyone to read! It is  a  fantasy book about kings, queens and a mystery. If you have started to read the book lets start a discussion about it. If you have questions about the book blog about it so that we  can read everyone's thinking about the book....

I have missed everyone and I can't believe that our vacation is almost over. We will be together very soon. Be safe on your travels and BLOG!!!!

Love you all Ms. Maura

My trip to Myrtle Beach was fun but it rained most of the week. On Friday the 8th I went to play putt putt and the theme was Captain Hook. After it we went to an ice cream place called Fat Matt's Ice Cream and it was good.  I had a cookies and cream milkshake. On that day we were moving to a different room because we wanted to stay another day and the room was cool and awesome. There was my cousins that we went with the Poole's and the Rogers'.  On the way home it took 5 hours at least and it was boring. I am almost done with The Hunger Games book.  It is so good and I love it so much.  On June 11, I just started soccer camp.  It is fun.

To All Students....

I know that the Academy Library has a couple copies of Midnight Magic. If you are being tutored ask if you can go upstairs to check out the book. I think the 1st ones to get to the Academy, than you can read the book over the summer and bring it back when school starts in August... Happy Reading...

I have been enjoying my summer at the Lacrosse Fields in Atlanta.  Fathers Day weekend we are heading to Greensboro North Carolina. Connor is giving his Dad a "Great Fathers Day present of Lacrosse ALL WEEKEND long....Miss all my Friends!! Ms. Maura

I just watch a movie on youtube and it was really good. The movie was Cyberbully and it taught me to never be a bully on the computer or the phone or right at the face. I'll miss my friends. Mytle beach was awesome.

Ms. Maura I did get my reading pack that you left with ms. Ava, I just have to go and buy the book Midnight Magic. I love getting tutored by Ron for math I have gone through 3 whole chapters in my math book and I am just finishing up chapter 15. He has taught me some really cool math tricks that have helped me along the way.

I miss you to Ms. Maura.
Love, Minniemouse/ Alex!!!!!

Yeah!!! I see that more students are blogging about their summer. WOW!! our own special reporter is now blogging with us! I am so excited to hear that my students are vacationing with family and friends. What wonderful vacations everyone is enjoying.  I have not been to Pigeon Forge so I want to hear more details about this location. I also have not been to Myrtle Beach in a very long time. If I was to go to either of these places what would you all recommend that I go and see?
I have not been on vacation as of yet, but I have been to many different lacrosse fields. The fields have been hot and buggy, but I am enjoying watching my son play. He is doing Great which is even better. We will be heading to Kennesaw Mountain this coming weekend and I am looking forward to watching some great lacrosse. I will keep you all posted on how the games go!
Keep reading and blogging so that all of our friends can stay in touch....Miss you all!! Ms. M

Pigeon Forge

Hey guys! I went to Pigeon Forge this week with my family. It was really fun, we had a great time and then we
went to the Hollywood Wax Museum. We saw some awesome celebrities like Angelina Jo-lie , Bey-once,
Jamie Fox, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Hilary Duff, Robert Patterson and Kristen Stewart.

After that we took pictures, at a photo studio like we were being robbed, we had a festive day.Then we went back to the hotel room and relaxed. It was fun having family time.

 PS : I am missing you all, hope that you guys are having a great super Summer.

Yours truly, PrincessHannah

I'm at the beach and it's raining! Oh no, what are we going to do? AnimalLover

Alex I like your word choice in describing your fears of sharks. I am enjoying staying in touch with you over the summer. It appears that you and I are the only bloggers this summer and I am enjoying our time blogging together!

I am glad that you tutored with Mr. Ron. He has a different approach to Math that I enjoy watching him teach others. I am glad that you are working with him. I would like you to be able to teach others all the cool math tricks he teaches you! Did you get your packet of reading that I left with Ms. Ava? I hope that you and Austin will connect over the summer and finish the vocabulary connection!

I am glad that you got to go to the pool with your neighbors. Your neighborhood has a great pool!!

Miss you...Keep blogging....Ms. M
