A little spring break surprise 3/13/13

March 13 -- Yesterday I went on a field trip with my girls and my best friend and we went to the Safari and San Antonio. When we were walking in the Alamo, taking pictures for some good "Expository Compositions" :)
I had the AWESOME surprise of finding one of my babies walking in the Alamo. Of course, we had to take a picture!!!!

It was such a cool surprise, right Caleb??? ;)

Twitters 3/5/2013

In reading class we have been using tweets to make inferences. We read them and infer how can we apply them to our lives.

Because we are doing this activity everyday, we will write them in the reading blog.

Come and read our AMAZING inferences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And...... Make some COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL   :)

Cuando de verdad estas muy EMOCIONADO de lo que estas haciendo, se va a mostrar, y vas a tener resultados!!!!!!!!!. Los que Ganan en la vida, son aquellos que se APASIONAN acerca de donde van.

When you truly believe in what you are doing, it shows. And it pays. Winners in life are those who are excited about where they're going.
