Lafayette, Here We Come!

Another wonderful and memorable school year has come to an end! I had so much fun with my students in 3P this year. They have shown me that they are such responsible and respectful students. I'll never forget all the memories we've made and the things we've learned since September.

I wish all of my students success in Lafayette in the fall. I know they'll learn so many new things, and make many new friends over the next two years. But before Lafayette.....

SUMMER IS HERE!

Over the summer break, take the time to check in on our blog. I would love to hear what you are doing, where you are going, what books you are reading, and how you're keeping cool this summer! I'll do my best to check the blog and post comments as they come in. If you'd like, you can even use this post as a Reading Log, responding to the books you're reading this summer.

No matter what, HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! Don't forget to keep in touch!

So, how was the zoo?

So, what do you think of the Bronx Zoo?

I don't think I'll ever forget our trip to the Bronx Zoo! The weather was perfect and the zoo was amazing!

I had so much fun walking around and seeing all the awesome animals there! The Monorail was one of my favorite parts. We got to see elephants, rhinos, and the sleepy red panda! Did you see all the baby animals at the zoo? Especially the tigers and the giraffe!
The gorillas in the Congo were so much fun! When one of the large gorillas was near the glass, a girl waved to him AND HE WAVED BACK!! Walking through JungleWorld and seeing the fantastic animals made me feel like I was actually in a rainforest!

Every SBS student (and SBS teacher) I saw today had a huge smile on his or her face and wanted to tell me stories about the animals they visited. I would love to hear about your favorite part of the field trip....

Which animals were your favorite? Did you get to see all the animals that you wanted? Which animals didn't you see? What was your favorite exhibit or section of the zoo? If the Bronx Zoo could add one animal exhibit, what should it be?
