Happy Birthday to Me!
I can't even begin to tell you how special today has been for me! I woke up not wanting to come to work today but I'm definitely glad I did. My assistant, Mrs. Martin, stayed late last night and decorated the whole room for me. It was such a nice surprise when I walked in this morning. The kids were so sweet! They showered me with gifts, cards, and birthday wishes. Every one of their kind words made me feel so lucky to be their teacher.
The biggest surprise of all was when 4 of my students sang and played a song on the ukulele that they had written with our music teacher, Mr. Hazelton. If their goal was to make me cry they succeeded! A huge thank you to Mr. Hazelton for helping them with that special gift!
Check out the song!!!

State House & NH Historical Society Field Trip
Today the 4th grade took a field trip to visit the NH State House and the Historical Society. At the State House we had the opportunity to learn how our state government works. We met Representative Horn from Franklin, Senator Sanborn, and "The Singing Senator." Unfortunately the governor was not in today but the kids did get a letter and pencil from her. The kids asked great questions and I was so happy with how well behaved they were. At the Historical Society we learned about NH Then & Now. It was a very engaging field trip!

The Last Great Race!
Iditarod 2015
This week we began learning about the Iditarod. This is a famous sled dog race that takes place in Alaska every year, beginning the first Saturday in March. This year the race will begin with the ceremonial start on March 7. The official start of the race will be on March 9th.
Each student has chosen a musher to "cheer on" during the race. Throughout the race we will be tracking our mushers' progress along the Iditarod trail. We have watched many videos this week to get us excited for the start of the race. This is something I'm very passionate about and I'm so happy to see the kids getting as excited as I am.
Throughout the next 3 weeks we will be learning many things about the Iditarod, sled dogs and and the sport of mushing, and the mushers themselves. I hope you will ask your child questions and encourage them to share what they are learning about this amazing sporting event!
