Week 3-4 Photo Review

As week 5 gets underway, it is a bit of a surprise that we only have 9 more days of Palisades VBS left. Time is going by pretty fast and I miss my students more and more each weekend that I don't get to see them. Personally, it has been great teaching my fourth graders, some students get the material and others simply need a little more guidance. Either way it has been a challenge worth facing and a reward always worth receiving, helping my students with their worksheets. Without further ado, here are some visual treats.



Visiting some other classes.







Our first outing for week 3 was a minor league baseball game.


It was a scorcher in terms of weather.








Due to rainy weather, we had movie day instead of swimming.


Which then led into games.







Last week, we went to play mini golf, the kids really enjoyed themselves!


Let's be honest, we've all played with the water from the little stream... Every mini golf course has one.








Activities!




Jessica doesn't seem to want to give me a smile... I'll take this face too.


Extreme concentration.


Extreme concentration #2.



Last weeks field trip was at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City.











Hope everyone has had a great start to the week! I myself am looking forward to another great week with my students!
