SALMON RELEASE

In science this year, we raised salmon from little eggs to alevins to fry. Then it was time to release them into the Willamette River. All of us 3rd graders walked down to the boat dock to let our fry swim free.

I named my fry Salish. I sure hope she makes it to the Pacific Ocean!

This is my 3rd grade class! My teacher, Mr. Jones, is taking the picture.

And here are allll of the 3rd graders!

PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND TOUR, PART 2

We continued our primary school playground tour, starting with my very own (and very favorite), Cedaroaks!

I showed Mommy and Daddy how I like to hang on the monkey bars and then drop down.

I also really love the swings.

But probably my very favorite is the play structure.

Then we went a little down the road to Bolton Primary. Those poor children don’t have a very good playground. But I still had a fun time. (And our last school, Stafford Primary, had their playground locked. Maybe we’ll try next weekend!)

FIRST DAY OF 2nd GRADE

It was my first day of 2nd grade! And I actually went to school IN PERSON. I thought it was kind of strange, but I was also really excited.

I have Miss Janes as my teacher this year and I enter the school through a different gate than I did when I was in kindergarten.

I had lots of fun at school, but I was tired when I got home! (But then I was totally ready to play Planet Coaster when I got inside.)

VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP

My teacher took us on a virtual field trip to none other than Cedar Point! (For you non-coaster-enthusiasts, Cedar Point is an amusement park with SO. MANY. thrilling rollercoasters!) As you can imagine, I was very excited.

SPRING BREAK LAUNCH PARTY

The day before spring break, all of the first grade classes got together for a Zoom launch party! I got to pick three activities to do in what’s called a Breakout Room. One thing I did was do some magic with a toothpick and tape.

I also did a game called Freeze Dance! That one was led by my very own teacher, Ms. Murphy!

FUN FRIENDSHIP GAME DAY

My online school program hosted a Fun Friendship Game Day on Zoom for Grades 1 through 5. It was really fun!

I got to choose a bunch of games to play. One of them was Valentine’s Day Bingo.

For the Scavenger Hunt, I had to find something yellow. I got a yellow Lego!
