Over the course of the last few weeks, we have had many 6th grade visitors coming to tell us about their year long studies. Our first group of visitors taught us all about the United Nations and their roles, specifically involving climate change. We then saw all the fruits of their labor, by attending the UN Parade where we got to wave miniature flags while the 6th graders walked by. IT WAS AWESOME!!! And it gave the kids a glimpse of what they might expect next year. We can't do anything without our silly picture!

I could not be more proud of all the hard work and diligence that the kids displayed over the past 3 weeks of standardized testing. They worked hard and stayed focus the entire time. To celebrate the completion, we enjoyed a tasty (and sour!) Ring Pop! Love these silly faces!!

That last comment I thought was brilliant! Why not have Flat Stanley enjoy a day in the life of a Mill Pond 5th Grader!? So I let the kids take the lead on this, and I simply documented his quest throughout the day. Here's what the kids had Flat Stanley do: |
