Mount Vernon and Big Sister/Little Sister-Highlights of the Week

What a week this was! Even though the weather was dismal for Mount Vernon, the good news is that it did not rain!  I have been there, at least, ten times, and I never get tired of seeing the view of the Potomac from the piazza.  It's amazing to think that George Washington enjoyed that same view.  The girls were as in awe of the experience as I was. We said a prayer at the tomb of George and Martha, and the docent on duty said that made his day...all of those yellow capped heads bowed in prayer.  This is such a special group of girls, and I mean that!

Big Sister/ Little Sister

St. Catherine's has a long standing tradition of the girls partnering with older classes.  Up until this year,  the Fourth Grade partnered with an upper school student and walked to St. Stephen's for St. Catherine's Day, as well as partnering with classes for various activities to celebrate Miss Jennie's birthday or just to work on projects. This year we are partnered with Susan Crook's middle school class for a Big/Little activity.  The fun part about this--I taught Susan Crook, as well some of her students! Susan and I had a ball coordinating things with our girls.  Yesterday we made Thanksgiving cards to accompany the cans for the Food Drive.  We also made a FlipGrid! As soon as I get the link, I will let you see it!  Meanwhile, enjoy these pictures from yesterday and ask your daughters what a FlipGrid is!
