SURPRISE DAY!!






Nobody saw it coming but when Mrs. West came over the intercom on Tuesday morning, everyone was thrilled to learn that it was Surprise Day! We went to Bell's skating rink and skated for a couple hours. We had a great time listening to the music and doing fun things like "The Hokey-Pokey" and "The Chicken Dance"! A special thanks to the nice people at Bell's for letting us come and visit. We had an awesome time!

Wacky Tacky Day!



We had a very Wacky Tacky Day last week after our 2-hour delay. Several students and their teacher all "dressed up" in mismatched and crazy attire. It was a fun day and we even managed to learn a few things too!

Real Men Read!



On Thursday we had a very special guest come to visit our class. His name was Mr. Brown and he was in charge of the Coca-Cola factory in Fort Wayne. He was very nice and an extremely tall man! He was 6 feet, 9 inches tall!! He played basketball in college. He read us a book about the life of Duke Ellington who was a famous musician. We were very thankful that Mr. Brown took the time to volunteer and read to us. He even gave us our own copy of the book!

Happy Birthday, Doctor!

We had a fun day celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday. We went to the gym for an assembly where we sang, danced, played games, and learned how to draw some pictures from Dr. Seuss books!

Welcome!!

Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to my new class website! I am so glad you have found it. We will be doing lots of very cool things here. I will be writing a weekly update about some of the happening in our class as well as posting pictures that we have taken from field trips, surprise days, and other fun activities at Adams! You can also check out some of the links on the side of the blog to some of our favorite websites with fun educational games and reading materials.  Feel free to spend as much time looking around as you like. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Mr. Brandenberger
