Name one producer and one consumer that you can think of. For example, a rose is a producer because it produces its own food and my dog is a consumer because he eats dogfood.

Well, our classroom was officially packed up yesterday and I am now on summer vacation. You would not believe how empty it looks. The grand total of boxes was 64! I hope your summer is getting off to a nice start. Remember to laugh, play, enjoy and read!

Hello almost 4th grade friends! I hope you are having a great summer. I am so excited for the next school year. It will be so exciting to watch you all grow!



Has anyone read any good books this summer? I am on the 10th book of a series and I don't want it to end. I still have so many books to read before summer is over.



Sherman looks so different! There is no more carpet in our old room. You will see brand new tile floors and new cabinets and counters.



Have fun the next few weeks! I miss you all. Make sure you come see me!
