This year Gretchen was super excited that Mrs. Sutherly was going to be her teacher for 2nd grade, which also meant lots of pirates. Mrs. Sutherly you see is a big pirate fan. So in addition to a cute welcome note before school started, a really cool decorated room the kids get to do pirate day and dress up like a pirate and this is a picture of our best effort to be a pirate, minus the eye patch! So fun was had by the whole class. And Gretchen is still loving school which I am so happy about. She even has been given the opportunity to do the Saturday Enrichment classes because of test scores, which is nice because she gets to interact with the other gifted students from Miami East and the surrounding districts. One of the last classes I thought it was funny because her and another girl recognized each other from softball season and started talking ball. These classes are usually very hands on, which taps into her artsy, crafty side too. And I always think it is neat to see what projects they have done.
