Meet the chicks

We have wanted chickens for a long time and decided last Friday that there's no better time than now!  Meet June (black), Sunny (small yellow), Maple (red), and Daisy (big yellow).  So far having chicks is definitely easier than owning a dog.  All they need is a little warmth, food, and water.  That's it!  I will post pictures as they get older so you guys can watch them grow from chicks to chickens (which I am told happens pretty quickly).

What a year it has been..

Well this is my eighth year teaching and my second year teaching third grade and what a year it has been!  We've had A LOT of fun and done a lot of learning!  Here we are nearing the end and are confronted with the unexpected challenge of students learning from outside of the classroom.  My hope is to use this blog to communicate with all of you as we continue this journey.
