Dear Friends,

I had so much fun on my trip to Florida that I took photographs of some of my favorite memories. I jumped on a gigantic bed and almost got lost in it.  Can you find me in the photo?  I ate wonderful food, like apples, bananas, and popcorn. Yum!  Because the weather was warm, I sometimes ate outside, but I discovered this could be a problem-the birds wanted my food even more than I did.  The birds would swoop down and grab my food before I could even put it in my mouth.  Can you believe it? I walked in the sand on the beach everyday with my friends and collected sea shells and pretended I was sailing my own sailboat.

Of all the fun things to do in Florida, my very favorite was watching the sunsets.  Every night I would sit and watch the sun get smaller and smaller in the sky, until it disappeared.  When the sun finally disappeared from the sky, everyone on the beach would clap.  It was a giant party celebrating nature. I can’t wait to come home to Nashville and watch the beautiful Tennessee sunsets.

Hugs,

Dear 1st graders,

Tidy Teddy had the opportunity of visiting Disney World. The weather was chilly, but he had a great time. His favorite was Pluto – they became great friends on this adventure. It took Tidy Teddy 13 hours to get to Disney from Nashville, and he was very tired upon his arrival. He rested up before heading over to Disney to visit with the characters. In this picture, Tidy Teddy had the opportunity to eat breakfast with Mickey, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. He had a great time, and is excited to return to your class!

Sincerely,

Ms. Pierce (former Ross Elementary teacher)
