Shady Creek

It was so great to see all of you tonight!  I have missed you all so much.  Your knex creations were amazing!  Being the judge was very hard!  I wanted to vote for all of them.  I'm sorry I couldn't stay long enough to see your skits, but look forward to hearing all about them.  Ooh, and I loved the Ms. Yates song!  I'm definitely going to need to hear that again.

I was also very impressed with all of the stories of kindness your teachers shared with me.  I'm so proud of you for taking care of one another, lifting each other up and being great ambassadors for our school.  You make me so proud!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your experience and can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.  I will have many exciting new things to share with you too!

Roger and his new toys...

Today I got Roger a climbing branch and a rock lake.  He was very curious and checked them out for a while.  After about five minutes he swam through his lake and climbed to the top of his branch to bask.  I think he loves it!
