We read a story about making a kite and how to fly one.  Will got to make and design his own kite.  What a great job!  He did a awesome job reading the story, building the kite, and what a nice day for kite flying!

Thank you Gage for inviting me to the motocross races.  I'm so glad I got to see you race.  You have taught me so much about motocross and it has given me a better understanding about the book we are currently reading.  Also, thank you Mr. and Mrs. Davis for the hospitality you had for my husband and me.  You made us feel very welcomed.
 

 WELCOME BACK:

I hope that everyone had a great summer!  

I wanted to update my bio information.  This is my tenth year here at St. Peters.  My 29th year in education.  I live in Russellville.  My "kids" are now 25 (Clayton), 23 (Curtis), 21 (Jake), and 19 (Samantha).  Clayton works for JC Parks and Rec.  Curtis works for Lauf Equipment.  Jake is a junior at CMU.  Samantha is a sophomore at UCM.  My husband and I are once more experiencing the "empty nest syndrome".  I like to do anything outdoors.  Hiking, gardening, biking, water sports, or just basking in the sunshine!  I love teaching and consider all my students as one of my own.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to discuss anything.  I hope to send out weekly emails updating parents on student progress, concerns, or announcements.

WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL SCHOOL YEAR!😊

We celebrated with our 8th graders going on a trip to YO-YUMS.  Each student got to make a t-shirt.  Then everyone had a treat.  Some of the students did karaoke singing their favorite songs. Some of them pretended they were backup dancers.  I think that everyone had a great time!

What a different, but great year it has been.  Wishing everyone a safe and happy summer!  Looking forward to seeing each and everyone in August!
 

Will shared some of his shells with Mr Keller, so Mr Keller shared some of his rocks with Will.

Mr. Veit came for a visit and flipped eggs with the students.  Each egg had a vocabulary word on it.  The students had to flip the egg to reveal the word, say it, and then feed it to a monster(box).  I think that Mr. Veit had even more fun than the students.

Many students in Mrs. Keller's class require additional help with motor skills.  Often academic skills can be worked on while using various motor skills.  Above, the students are flipping eggs using a spatula.  These eggs contain vocabulary words.  The words are read and are fed to the monster machine.
