Miss Kelly.

Griffin saw the paper flower made for the other school, so he wanted to make one for his teacher. He also made her a card, filled a jar with M&Ms and put it in a gift bag. It was so much fun watching him make this.

Third Grade Field Trip - Monticello

Field trip to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello today! This is my crew - Griffin, Daniel and Gabe. The property and house are so beautiful. It gave me goose bumps walking through his home, realizing I was walking on the same floors as one of our founding fathers. One of the things that stood out to me is when designing his tombstone, he wanted his contributions (and not his accomplishments) to be inscribed on it. It reads 'Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom and Father of the University of Virginia'. No where does it recognize him as President or his other accomplishments
