A short trip dow I-59 to Sand Moutain, took me to Davis Elementary where I had the chance to read to several Kindergarten students. Had a great time, and I wanted to show you all the cute kids!

Congrats to Linda of Athens for winning this week's Garden of the Week!  

I took a nice trip down to the small town of Naomi, GA, just outside of LaFayette, to visit with the 3rd Graders of Naomi Elementary for Weather in the Classroom.

A  nice drive up Hwy 27 took me to Soddy Elementary to visit with the Kindergarten classes. It's always fun to watch the student's eyes widen with the threat of large food falling from the sky!

Weather in the Classroom took a trip up Signal Mountain to visit with the 3rd grade at Nolan Elementary. What a great group!! 

Here they are:

This week's winner comes from Cleveland, TN where Chris says she has "Armfulls of Mums"!

Nice. Chris you win a $100 gift card from the Barn Nursery! Enjoy.

A true sign of fall yesterday at the Smith house.                Our exchange student, Milou brought a “cute” black and brown caterpillar into the house and after close inspection, it turns out that it was a woolly bear! I told her these little guys can predict how severe the winter will be. Naturally she asked, “will it be as bad  as the winters in Holland?” Well no, but is there any truth to predicting with these little guys?  

It was a short trip through the fog, to Ringgold, GA to visit with dozens of 4th graders at Boynton Elementary! We talked all about floods, tornadoes, lightning, hail and so on. You name it, we talked about it.
