Buzzy Bee
Buzzy is our class mascot. He is always searching for boys and girls who follow the rules and directions. When he finds
students doing the right thing, he lands near them to show the students how proud he is of them! He also buzzes when he
sees the entire class doing a great job! Buzzy is going on an adventure this school year. He is going to fly to 8
other classrooms around the United States! He is so excited! We will certainly miss Buzzy. However, we are excited
because while Buzzy is gone, we are going to have other mascots visit our class. Buzzy will return to us in May with his
journal notebook full of information and photos. We will have so much fun reading and looking through the photos as we
learn more about other states and schools. The map below shows Buzzy's route. He will leave Georgia and travel to
Florida. His last stop before he returns home will be in New York!
The adventure will be fun for Buzzy and our class as we receive emails and photos from around the United States!

with his journal notebook, book on bees, books on Georgia, peanut

to visit his first class! The class was sad to see Buzzy go.
Curious George Arrives!!!!!!!
Tuesday, September 18th: A box arrived for Mrs. Morlan's class!
The class was soooooo excited!
The box was from Miss. Millers's 2nd grade class in New York!
Mrs. Morlan opened the box!
The box contained Curious George wrapped in his
blanket, his bookbag, a journal, a book on New York, and a book about George!
George was so cute and cozy all wrapped up!
We enjoyed looking through George's journal!
We passed George around for everyone to visit with him. The students even had to check out his toes!

George helped the class make a graph using pattern blocks. He then visited the students as they worked at their table to make sure
they were doing good on their work.

George enjoyed writing time with the students. The students were working in groups of two. They were writing sentences showing how
the two students are alike and different.
