A Poetry Recital and a Field Trip

The second grade at Walker's school

had a poetry recital!

I LOVED IT!!!

Walker and his buddy Cade...

they both chose baseball poems;)

The students had to choose their own poem.

It had to be over ten lines and

had to be perfectly memorized.

Troy and Walker searched and searched

until they found the perfect baseball poem.

Walker knew upon the first day of the

assignment that he wanted his poem

to be baseball and he wanted to wear his

entire uniform!!!;)
He chose "Baseball" by James Metcalfe.
It was about twenty lines...I tried to find a
shorter one for him!  ha!;)

Mrs. Bain introducing Walker's class...

I just had to take this one of Colton...

look what shirt he wore for the recital!!!

Walker did a PERFECT job!

He didn't forget any of his twenty lines,

he spoke clearly and he looked GREAT!!!

God love his little heart!!!!!!!!!!!

(By the way I remember my own 2nd grade

poetry recital.  I was the first one to go

and forgot every.single.line of

"Eight Balloons Nobody Was Buying"!)

We were all SO PROUD of our boy!

Daddy was there, too...

I'm not sure why he isn't in any of the pictures?!?

Little Miss thought she would get

a little practice.  I'm pretty sure she

will choose the poem about a

"brother for sale" when she's in 2nd grade;)

LOVE LOVE LOVE

My one and only Walker D!!!

Also in May the second grade went on their

spring field trip to Heritage Farms.

Walker's teachers asked me to come

along...and even ride the bus with them!
Heritage Farms is a working homestead.

It was really quite interesting to see their

way of life and how nice everyone there was.

Almost untainted by the world, ya know?

The teachers suggested that the boys wear hats.

The night before I told Walker to grab one of

his hats.  He couldn't decide between his Ranger

hat or his Superman one.  He kept asking me.

I told him it didn't matter.

Finally, he grabbed the Superman one

and said, "That's the one Travis would choose!"

My poor kids hardly even know how to

hold a dog;)!  This was a beautiful little

yellow lab...just like we hope to have someday.

Walker, Matthew, Garrett

I love that Walker likes having me around.

I dread the day that ends.  :(

Mrs. Donahoo and Mrs. Bain's class...

THRILLS my heart and soul to walk by a car

and see a BE BOLD sticker.  Thank you, MO!

Melanie Massey sent these stickers that her

dad made for the benefit.  So AWESOME!

Time for homemade ice cream:)

Such a sweet, fun class.....

Evan, Cade, Braden, and Walker

These guys were my bus buddies!  ha!

I love being a room mom!!!
