Alpha Wolf of the Year!



Every year one student from each classroom is chosen as Alpha Wolf of the Year. It is a student who has done an outstanding job academically in addition to being a leader within the classroom.

I asked my class to vote for who they thought the Alpha Wolf should be. No surprise that Pasco was voted by his peers!


A little about this amazing boy:
He is kind, helpful, caring, funny, witty, gentle, helpful, smart, happy, and has a passion for learning. He tells the best stories and makes me laugh every single day! The students in our class look to him for help and as a role model. I am able to give him extra "jobs" to help the classroom run smoother. He is a problem solver and a wonderful thinker!

Pasco is an amazing boy and I am so glad that I and the opportunity to have him in my Kindergarten class. I often think about how lucky I am to have the group of kids that I do. They were all assigned to a different classroom. They had different desks, cubbies, friends, etc. The parents took a chance with having their child move out of their "familiar" and start Kindergarten all over again. I am so thankful that the parents supported me throughout this year. It has made my job so much easier and allowed me to have more fun with my class!




Congrats, Pasco! I am so proud of you!!!

Book Buddies

Today we had our last meeting with our Book Buddies in Mrs. Quiggly's classroom. The class had a great time! We read our books to them and then they started to teach the kids about math facts, reading clocks, etc. It was so fun to see the exchange in learning!

Book Buddies

We have gone the entire year without having Book Buddies. I was a little sad because I thought that all of the classes already had them.















The kids did so great reading with each other. We talked about having some questions/topics to talk about to introduce themselves. My class had 2-3 books they could read. The 2nd graders did a wonderful job. It was so awesome to see this learning passing from one to another. Can't wait to do it again in a couple weeks. I will definitely be doing this from the beginning of school starting next year!

My class really enjoyed this activity. Here are their wonderful smiles during the graphing.
