Valley Home Comes To Challenger...

Some of our friends from Valley Home came for a tour last Wednesday.  They had a GREAT time,  led on a tour of Challenger by the students.  The residents thought that we were so lucky to have such a nice school!!  It was a good learning experience for both the residents and the students.  We ended in our classroom for poetry, punch, and cookies.  We will forever remember our dear friends and hope to visit them at Valley Home over the summer.   

We shared some information about iPads to our friends at Valley Home.  They really liked the slideshow in the background on the Smartboard.  They found slides of themselves, too!   

We are in the Media Center here.  They couldn't believe how big it was and  how many books we have!!!

Ms. Heikkila was so AMAZING!!!  She let us perform two songs from our Informance.  We were so good!!!  THANKS!!!

Connie and Robert.  He is the "Purple People Eater".

We are serving them punch, coffee, and cookies.

Derek is reading some poetry to his resident.

Ann and her resident are looking at her Poetry Anthology Book.

Joyce is listening to Lydia and Mattea read some poetry.  She was hoping to take the girls back to Valley Home with her.  She was so "sweet". 

This is Lois, the leader at Valley Home.  We gave her a card and a little present!  We couldn't do this without her!!!!  THANKS!!!  YOU ROCK, LOIS!!!

This is my Aunt Gloria and Robert.  She helps Mrs. Benson and myself every time we go to Valley Home.  They were in charge of the treats!!!

We made them a poster to take back to all the residents that couldn't come to Challenger.  We wrote about our FAVORITE part of Valley Home and shared some pictures with them.  We hope they LOVED it.  We walked them out to their bus and said our good-byes.  We just love them so much.
