Happy Last Day!

It seems as though I blinked my eyes and the school year was over! I guess that's how it is when you're having fun! This year has been so enjoyable! Cecil Intermediate seems like home now, and I'll truly miss the students I've gotten to know so well. We've all taken a flying leap this year; stretching our imaginations and growing together. Best wishes to my students! You are ready for this next step, and I know I'll hear many good things about you in the years to come. Always remember to give each day your all! If you do, you'll be successful. Happy Summer to all! Don't forget to keep reading!

Our Wax Museum

Welcome to Our Wax Museum! This project was our attempt at sharing our novel From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler with other readers in our school. Each cafe group was assigned a chapter of the book. They chose their favorite scene, wrote a summary, designed a backdrop and props, dressed as characters, and froze in place. Students invited to the museum viewed the scenes chapter by chapter in our darkened gymnasium. What fun!
