Hey there Weckies and Weckie Families!!
Welcome to our little place on the Internet where I'll be sharing all sorts of cool information this year about our growth and learning in second grade. I am sitting in a very quiet, very clean and very exciting classroom eagerly anticipating your arrival on Monday, August 26th from 3-4pm for our Meet and Greet, and especially excited about our first day of school together on Tuesday, August 27th! I am ready for the room to be filled with noise - a good noise! Curiosity, excitement, laughter, friends re-aquainting and new friendships being formed! This is going to be your BEST YEAR yet!!
Now that you have found our Blog, make sure to follow the page or bookmark this page (on the right hand side) so you'll be up to date on all the latest learning and growth in second grade! I try to do two newsletters a month and frequently post more often on Twitter where you can find us: @WeAreTheWeckies . Feel free to scroll back too and see what we were up to last year as you get excited for this coming year!!
It has been an excitement and adventuresome summer for our family, as well as one of great patience and faith!! We added a new Weckie to our family in April, as Ellery Bea was born on April 14th! Mrs. Weckstein actually stopped teaching mid-March in preparation for the new baby. As the summer went on and we adjusted well to being a family of four, we went on many adventures and created so many wonderful memories! Midway through our summer, our 9lb pup, Max, sustained a spinal injury - one which we are likely to never know what caused it. He underwent emergency surgery and is paralyzed from the middle of his back through his hind legs. This has been hard on our family as Max is only 6 and was Mrs. Weckstein's running coach (seriously, this dog would run 3, 4, 5 miles with me and still have energy while I would be spent!!) Needless to say, we have had to have a lot of patience with him this summer as he spent nearly 5 days in the animal hospital and has returned home needing special care as well as PT. We are cautiously optimistic that with the right PT therapy he will regain the ability to walk, but we have also been told he would be a wonderful dog for a shiny set of wheels if needed (for mobility). Yikes!! So the second half of the summer was spent close to home and a lot of attention was given to the pup, who remains spunky, energetic and very eager to MOVE again! Below you'll see just a few snapshots of our summer vacation. :-)
