June 13, 2012 Last Full Day of School "A Purplicious Memory"

I knew that I had something else I wanted to share. On the last full day of school my students dressed in every shade of purple to tribute my love of purple! It was a truly "Purplicious" day! I am holding a wonderful purple hydrangea plant given to me! <3

This video was made by 2 of my students and was recorded during recess using a Flip. I was so surprised! I will cherish it forever! :) They were so excited to give it to me. They told me that they wanted to make me a video because I made videos of them all year long. What a class! How lucky was I to have them?<3 Thanks  

Mrs. McGinnis, Theresa Hanson, and Paula McKenna

For the past 10 years my class and Mrs. McKenna's class have welcomed Theresa Hanson of Junior Achievement of America. She has taught our classes about Community. The children were engaged in many fun filled activities during the 5 week program.. On June 1, 2012 the children presented Theresa with beautiful cards and a plant. I would encourage any teacher to welcome a volunteer from Junior Achievement into their classroom.
