Howdy and Yeehaw!  Hats off as we end our 2021-2022 school year.  My homeroom students spent many hours with me on the "Ranch."  We worked hard every day to close the gaps caused by Covid.  Mrs. Hammonds and I are proud of our students and how they grew to be even more responsible, respectful, and wise.  Each one of my "Wise Owls" had a leadership role and helped with so many tasks and helped each other learn.  We ended our year with the best party ever.

This summer I will be traveling out west.  My plan is to cover seven states in seven days.  I can't wait to share these experiences with my new "Fourth Grade Ranch Hands."  I will be visiting the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Monument Valley, Four Corners, and Death Valley, just to name a few.  Finally, I will get to take a ride down Route 66.  I will continue my western theme next year.  So get ready!  "Saddle Up With a Good Book!"  I will be teaching you ELA (Reading, Creative Writing, Grammar, Spelling, and Cursive Writing).  Mrs. Ferguson will teach you social studies and science.  Mrs. Hammonds will teach you math.  In addition, my "Wise Owls" will learn and practice the 7-Habits and you will have a leadership position, too.

Happy Trails to You!  See you soon!
