Chasing Chickens for a Cure

Last week, BES students raised $877 for the "Chase a Chicken Race!" Over the past few weeks, students brought in money to place in their teachers' buckets to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The teachers with the most money had to chase a chicken at the end of the week. The kids had a BLAST watching us go after our chickens!

After our chicken race, first and second grade students stuck around to watch our Diet Coke & Mentos eruption experiment.

Time flies when you're having fun!!!

It's hard to believe that I'm already into my sixth year of teaching at Brusly Elelmentary. I guess time does fly when you're having fun! I'm currently teaching a WONDERFUL group of second grade students that I absolutley adore! This year I am also mentoring my very first student teacher from LSU, who is fabulous! The students (as well as myself) will be very sad to see her leave in December.

This week, I decided to start a teaching blog to share some of what we do in our classroom with parents and other teachers. I hope you enjoy!

Here are some pictures of our classroom.
