Morgan Rude was our historian this week. I gave him the camera each day and told him to take pictures of whatever he wanted. He went a little camera crazy and took a TON of awesome pictures! Here they are... :)

HAVE A SUPER DUPER WEEKEND!

TTFN,
Mrs. Delzer :)

Thank you Mr. Reynolds for sending me this video! His kids at Lincoln High School loved watching it, and I think my Top Dogs will, too! This video is about a boy who just learned how to ride his bike. He talks about how with practice, you can learn how to do anything! You have come so far this year, and I am so proud of your hard work! Keep it up!!

You can do anything if you just keep practicing and believe in yourself!

Toodles,
Mrs. Delzer :)

Cody is headed to Rochester for the State Wrestling Tournament this weekend! We gave him a Good Luck present today before he left. We know Cody will wrestle hard and make us very proud. Go get 'em buddy!!!

Thank you Morgan R. for taking these pictures! You're doing an awesome job as our historian this week!

Your Proud Teacher,
Mrs. Delzer :O)

We know you will be the "Top Dog"!

Do your best!! We are so proud of you!

Good Luck at State, C-dog!

Here are today's brand new WOWs from The Patchwork Quilt! We love signing up on the Word Wizard when we hear these words at home! :) :)

I was going through some pictures I took last week, and I realized I never posted them to the blog! We had a busy week with fractions, learning about lines that artists use in projects, and weather words (onomatopoeia)! These are just a few of the many things we have been doing in The Doghouse!

Here they are!

Toods,
Mrs. Delzer :)

A teacher at Franklin Middle School, Mrs. Loe, sent me this video to wish me a Happy Monday! It made me laugh so hard I had to watch it twice! I bet it will make you smile, too! Have a great week, Top Dogs!

TTYL,
Mrs. Delzer :O)

We had a very special Mystery Reader come to The Doghouse this week from the District Service Center. She read Smooch Your Pooch and answered all of our questions about her life! We are so glad she could come to visit and read to us! We hope she will come back again soon!

Here were her clues:
1.    I moved to TRF in 2009.
2.    My husband and I have two daughters who are both in college.
3.    I am a major "Prowler Fan" - I attend a lot of school activities.
4.    I am an administrator at ISD 564.
5.    I work at the District Service Center.

Do you have any guesses who it might be? Yep, it was our superintendent of Thief River Public Schools, Mrs. Laine Larson! How cool is that!?!

Thanks for your visit, Laine! :)

Toodles,
Mrs. Delzer :O)

Holy cow did I get spoiled today on my birthday! I cannot believe the gifts I got from my Top Dogs, family, and friends! I told the kids today that I did not need gifts, because spending the day with them was the best present of all! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your emails, phone calls, cards, and gifts!! You made my day extra special!!! I am one lucky teacher!

Thanks a million,
Mrs. Delzer :O)

PS I got this picture in an email today, and thought I'd share. You know I am a crazy dog lady! :)

Oh my gosh!! You're home!! Pet me, give me treats, let me love you! This is exactly how Madi and Duds are everyday!

Hey Top Dogs!

Don't forget that book orders are due back to school tomorrow. Tomorrow is also a media day, so make sure you bring your media books to school! We will learn 3 new WOWs in the afternoon, too!

Am I forgetting anything else happening tomorrow that makes it a special day? Oh yeah, silly me. Tomorrow is my birthday!!! I will bring a special treat to share with all of my Top Dogs!

Tomorrow will not be an **ordinary** day!

Toodles for now,
Mrs. Delzer :O)

 Jaxon and Koen were both in the Science Fair last week. WOW!! They did such a super job on their projects that I asked them to present their projects in our classroom, too! Jax did a project on cutting glass, and Kojo did his project on bears! They did an **extraordinary** job! Way to go, guys!

You are rockstars!!!

TTFN,
Mrs. Delzer :O)
