Virginia Beach Education Foundation

Wednesday night was the celebration of all the grant receipents at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach. The food was prepared and served by the culinary students from the Virginia Beach Technical and Career Education Center. The food was YUMMY and I was very excited to take pictures of the food. Jody Carroll, our computer resource teacher, Susan Hardesty, our librarian, Leslie Law, our gifted resource teacher, and Mrs. Capwell, our principal, and Mrs. Williamston, our assistant principal, and Amber Greene, our kindergarten assistant, also attended.

Parent Connection Workshop

Who's a Turkey?

This is a picture of Mrs. Capwell dressed as a turkey from last year. Each year our SCA sponsors the "turkey teacher" canned food drive. Teachers volunteer themselves to have a box in the cafeteria to collect donated canned food. The teacher with the most cans of food in there box will have to wear the famous turkey costume! Last year, Mrs. Capwell won the canned food drive and had to wear the costume. Guess what... this year I volunteered to be in the contest for "turkey teacher"(yikes!). Students can bring in cans from November 15th-November 19th to vote for the "turkey teacher". Our kindergarten friends are very excited and keep teasing me about how they can't wait to see me in the turkey costume... stay tuned to see who wins!

Becoming a Writer

Today we read the book Red is a Dragon which is also on tumblebooks. Each student then chose a color to write about in their writing notebooks and had to think of four things of that color and then label the items. We had some very creative work!
