Elliott's Homeroom Happenings


Mile's grandmother, Suzanne Gravitt, has been reading to our class each month. On her final day, the children and I were each surprised with the gift of a new book. What a fabulous treat it has been to share this time with someone who loves children, books, stories, and is such a wonderful and loving grandmother too!

One afternoon, when I picked up the children from p.e., we discovered an orchestra session going on in the lower school foyer. The performance was followed by a mini lesson from someone very special, Rex Serpe. His mom Linda is our amazing art teacher and I was blessed to teach this sweet, smart young man in Kindergarten many years ago. #capehenrycommunityisthebest

What happened to Arizona??? ;)

New seating arrangement for the final countdown.
Can they make it for 7 more days??? 


Those are some big smiles on the boy side of the room.

It was hard to get everyone to look at the camera.

Cinco De Mayo Celebration































A Grand Canyon Story Teller

Carolyn Scullion, Kindergarten teacher, shares her experiences hiking the Grand Canyon, while mesmerized students hang on her every word. This yearly tradition ties to part of third grade's social studies curriculum about landforms and U.S. states.
