McCracken's Memos

Time for Turkey

2011-11-18T12:45:00.000-05:00

November is here and the first thing I always think about is Thanksgiving! My memories of family time and food during November were some of my best ever!!! Each Thanksgiving, my whole family would eat a huge lunch, sit around and talk then eat another big meal for dinner. It was wonderful! My grandma made the best macaroni and cheese in the world.

What are some of your favorite family holiday traditions or favorite foods?

Fall Fun

2011-10-06T13:03:00.002-04:00

I love Fall! The weather is cooler, the leaves are turning, and for my family it means football. One of the things that we love to do is watch football games. My son is a football player and I enjoy watching him play his game while drinking some yummy hot chocolate. The crowd cheering and the cool breeze blowing just makes me happy! What do you like to do in Fall for fun?

Summer Fun

2011-08-11T00:27:00.002-04:00

I can't believe we are almost ready for a brand new school year! My Summer break has been wonderful and I hope your break has been great also. I spend some time traveling on vacation and some time just relaxing at home. I read several books and spend time with my family. What have you been doing this Summer?

New Year Goals

2010-12-28T22:58:00.002-05:00

Many people begin each new year by setting some goals that they would like to accomplish during the year. Some people want to learn something new or try something that they have not had a chance to try before.
This year I want to try to learn to ride a horse. This is something that I have wanted to learn to do since I was a little girl. My family and I are already making plans to go horseback riding together in the Spring or Summer.
I also want to travel to a state that I have never been to before, Georgia. Many people have said that Georgia is so pretty and there are many things to do there.
What are your goals for 2011? What do you want to do in this new year?

Fall Fun

2010-10-12T15:13:00.004-04:00

The best part of Fall for me is the cooler weather! It is wonderful to be outside in the sun without the sizzling heat of Summer. I really enjoy the cool breezes and the crunchy sound of the wind blowing through trees of dry, falling leaves. The best part of outside time during Fall for me is watching football. I love the excitement of the game and the cheers of the crowd. What do you like about Fall? Share about a time that you have enjoyed Fall outside.

Welcome to Second grade!

2010-09-19T21:21:00.002-04:00

Welcome back to a new school year! We are off to a great start and adjusting to a new routine. I have enjoyed getting a chance to meet all of our new classmates and setting up in a new classroom. What part of Second grade have you really enjoyed? Why do you think this has been your favorite thing so far?

Spring has Sprung!

2010-04-06T23:01:00.003-04:00

The weather outside has been so warm and beautiful. I hope everyone got to go out an enjoy it over Spring break! What did you do over your vacation?

Love Bugs

2010-02-18T12:05:00.003-05:00

When I think of February, I think of LOVE! I'm sure that has something to do with Valentine's Day on February 14. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones whenever I get a chance. My family and I like to do things together or just hang around the house! What do you like to do with people you love? Write about a time that you have spent with someone you love. Don't forget to tell me the name of your loved one!

Let it Snow!!!

2010-01-03T19:39:00.003-05:00

The snow we had on the Friday before vacation was so beautiful! It was deep out there by Saturday morning! I hope you all got a chance to play in it. Although I really like to watch the snow falling and blanketing the ground, I hope it does not snow like that again this winter. I don't want to miss a lot of school days for snow. Do you think it will snow like that again this winter? What will you do if we do get a another snowy day?
