Day 1 of Testing

Today was Day 1 of our standardized testing!

After our testing, Doc Clay came in and talked to us about being an Air Force doctor.

The kids loved getting to try on some of his gear.

Time to listen to our hearts.

We even got to check our ears.  Each child also got to look in my ear and see my eardrum.  They were impressed by how clean my ears were.  ;)

We wrote him some thank you notes for coming in and teaching us about being a community helper.  

VCA Elementary Dance

Jocelyn was excited about her first dance.

Jocelyn loved getting to hang out with her friends.

4th Grade Girls ROCK!

Spring Break with the Hancock Family

We were so happy that we finally got to meet baby Gracin!

We all enjoyed baby snuggles.

She is such a good baby.

I got tons of baby snuggles.  

We took everyone to the base to ice skate for the first time.

Everyone did great!

The next day, we went to the Children's Museum downtown.  

We had a great time together and are looking forward to our next visit.  

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

The girls made puppets this week at school.

The girls and I made edible Easter baskets for the Hancock family.

We are so excited that they are coming to visit us for Spring Break!

Field Trip

We made donut empty tombs for Easter!

We took a field trip to the NC Life and Science Museum.

ACSI Spelling Bee

Jocelyn was one of the 4th grade VCA students selected to compete in the ACSI Spelling Bee in Raleigh, NC.  She placed in the top 10 of all the 4th graders. We are so proud of her!

I have spent the last few months practicing with our 2nd grade Spelling Bee students and they took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place!  Our school was the only school to sweep an entire grade level.  So proud of my students.
