Timber Ridge Elementary

I can’t believe it is almost Christmas! I worked with a great school last week, Timber Ridge Elementary. It is nice to be at a school that is near home. Mrs. Parks, the media specialist, has created a great space to read and learn. I loved this library! Bevin Newton was a wonderful parent helper! I had lunch with students both days and had lots of laughs. The students and I did lots of drawings, 2 drawing pads worth, which got left with the school to use. My favorite drawing those two days, a chicken called “Onion Wings”. All the teachers were drawing with me and I did a “Deer Goddess” for the principal, Dr. Doe. You might have to go to the principal’s office to see her drawing!

Wow!Who would believe it! I hope everyone had a great holiday! I visited some wonderful schools last week!
Waynesboro Primary on Monday in Waynesboro, Georgia. What a great mascot, a Panda Bear.It was a great day working with all the 2nd graders and the teachers, too. Miss Barbara was a trooper and helped keep it all flowing and even laughed at all my puns.The principal, Mr. Mitchell, kept stopping by and laughing . He must have enjoyed it because he invited me to a wonderful lunch in the cafeteria.

Pinecrest Elementary on Tuesday in Greenwood, South Carolina. The theme for this year is " Under Construction". They mean it, everyone had hard hats and at the end of the day the principal was using a backhoe. The students created time capsules to be buried. Cool, huh? The school had met their reading goals and this was their big day! The media specialist, Mrs. Ellenberg, was great!
