Look at my friends in Mrs. Morehart's Room during yesterday's snow.

Check out what my friends in Mrs. Morehart's room did yesterday on their way to gym class...they were catching snowflakes in their mouths. It looks like Mrs. Morehart is having the most fun of all!!!

Owl Pellet Exploration.

I saw some pretty cool things this week in Mrs. Mitstifer's 4th grade class. They were dissecting owl pellets. Yes, owl 'pellets.' The students explained their findings and what types of animals that owls hunt. They described that they are predators and told me that one way to understand the hunting habits of the owls was to look at their 'pellets.' Mrs. Mitstifer's class did a great job. Check out the student with the animal skull which he found.

Dedication of Old Huffman Office Supply Building (and the rest of the story)

I usually don't have the opportunity to have a lunch break, let alone eat a balanced lunch, but todayI did get to take a lunch break.

My daughter and her friend Ella were given a unique opportunity. As three year olds they helped lay a piece of history--a sidewalk marker from 1897 that ancestors of ours laid. Ancestors of my family were concrete layers. Sidewalks throughout the city were designated with this marker below.

Recently, friends of ours, Pat and Trisha Gibbons Marty renovated the old Huffman Office Supply Building and new sidewalks were poured. The marker from the old sidewalks was set back in place today by my daughter and her friend Ella. Now, Ella's ancestors are Gehrons. Gehrons constructed the building that is newly renovated, so the girls together were part of celebrating the history of the site, while we embrace the future of the new use of the building. Thanks to the Marty's for allowing us to be part of history.

Now, the rest of the story.....

What I held off telling you for a few weeks was this part of the story. Our friend, Mr. Wilson, did not realize that the cement was fresh when he walked into the back door and came out the front to join us. The footsteps below were caused by his first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth steps!!! Wow. The bad news was that he got his dress shoes dirty. The good news?! The men were still there pouring cement and were able to fix it, although they were not too happy with Mr. Wilson. There's a lesson here...is it 1. Always look before you step; 2. Once you've taken the first step, keep going; 3. Put up a WET CEMENT sign; or 4. When pouring cement, don't invite Mr. Wilson..... :)-

Thanks, Miss Roush's Class!!!

I want to thanks Miss Roush's class for including me in their class's release of their Monarch butterfly, Skittles. They also sent me a letter and then read it in front of me and they were able to tell me all of the important parts of a friendly letter. Good Luck on your trip to Mexico, Skittles!
