Love, Carol

Coming Back Tomorrow

Hi Mrs. Driscoll,

I am so happy that your coming back tomorrow. Mr. A was very nice to us.
How was your day, was it great, okay, or bad I hope it was great. But have a good sleep because your coming back from Boston, where my Aunts live. It's a four hour trip back. Didn't time go by so fast Saturday and Sunday?
Love, Clifton

I'm home!

Hello everyone!

We made it back to New Jersey last night. It was an amazing experience and I feel so fortunate that I was able to go. This was the 20th year the People of Color Conference ( POCC) was held and it was the 14th year for the Student Diversity Leadership Conference ( SDLC) This year was the largest conference every held, with roughly 4,000 people!

After listening to various keynote speakers, like Frank Wu, Tarun Tejpal ( who taught us that if we have love and laughter in our lives we can do anything we want!), Marcus Mabry, Maria Hinojosa, and Wilma Mankiller ( the first female elected deputy chief of the Cherokee Nation) I have learned about many different cultures. Each of these speakers had to overcome many obstacles in their lives in order to get to where they are today.

In closing, always remember that we need to treat others like we want to be treated. We are all the same people with good hearts. All of you can become ANYTHING you want to become. So dream big and reach for the stars!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Hope you are enjoying Boston!

Dear Mrs. Driscoll,
I hope you are having a wonderful, fun, enriching experience at your Boston conference. Being your friend since we were little, I know that you tackle all new experiences with an open mind and a desire to learn everything you can. I don't know if you will be writing a paper about this experience but if so I would love to proofread it- I always enjoyed reading your papers in college! Have fun and see you soon!
Love you, Michele

Hi Mom!

You're Almost Back!

Dear Mrs. Driscoll,
Today I am going to NYC to take my Grandma to dinner for her birthday. We are going to a yummy restaurant. Have a good weekend!
Love, John

Hi 2S!

Dear 2S,

I miss you all! Mrs. Springmeyer, I can't wait to come back and talk to you about everything here. I love our long conversations about teaching and I have learned so much here. Owen, the name of our hotel is the Westin. It's on the Charles River and it's attached to the convention center, where our meetings are. Mairead, We haven't seen Fenway Park yet, but the stores are filled with Redsox gear. Clyde, Maybe I will get Oscar a Red Sox chew toy...but remember I don't really mind the Red Sox since I'm a METS fan!!! Apurva, I can ask the bus driver if he can stop at Lexington, but I know we are leaving later in the afternoon on Saturday and we want to try and get back. My favorite restaurant was last night's meal. I love lobster and it was delicious! Alexis, The name of the restaurant was called NO NAME. Isn't that funny? I guess they couldn't think of a name for it.

Have fun sharing your dinosaur facts with the kindergarten tomorrow!

I'll see you on Monday!
Mrs. Driscoll

Greetings from Boston!

Hi 2D,

Guess what? I went to see the New England Aquarium today. ( Valentina, I know you asked me about it!) It was awesome! Ms. Smith Willis and Mrs. Ogden were fascinated ( as was I) because there were penguins EVERYWHERE! There was a statue of one outside the aquarium when we first walked in and there were little statues sitting on the benches throughout the aquarium. Next to that was an outdoor tank with seals that were putting on shows for us. ( I think they liked Mrs. Ogden a lot) As soon as we walked in to the aquarium there was a HUGE area where the penguins lived. I thought of you guys the entire time since you are experts on them. They made a great deal of noise. What do you think they say to each other while we are all watching them?

Michael, Bean Town got it's name because back in colonial days, a favorite Boston food was beans baked in molasses for several hours. Today, Boston baked beans are rare - there are no companies in the city making it and only a few restaurants serve it, but it stuck to its name.
Ben, It took us about 5 hours to get to Boston yesterday. We took a bus. I read my book and listened to some of my music. Melissa, don't worry about your Alaska facts. We can work on them when we get back. John, Osci isn't with me, but I miss him. I still haven't gotten him anything yet. What do you think I should get him? Annie, I got your blog and Maggie's! Brian, I am so glad you learned about quotation marks. I can't wait to read your writing when I get back.
Our conference and meetings today were terrific. I learned a lot of information that I can bring back to the classroom. I am so glad I am here because I think it's important to continue learning just like you guys!

How is school going? I hope you are studying for Spanish! Don't forget tomorrow is a Dress Down Day and you need to bring in your Mind Benders #8. Some of you still need to bring in Mind Benders #7 because Mr. A. is going to go over both of them tomorrow. Tonight is your last night to read Polar Bears Past Bedtime. Did Jack and Annie solve the riddle yet? Can you believe you have already finished the book? I am so proud of all of you.How is Eskimo Boy going? Are you learning a lot about the differences between Norman and you? Can you believe he goes to the dentist in an airplane? That must be pretty cool! Isn't it interesting to learn about a boy who is the same age as you but lives each day very differently than we do in New Jersey? I can't wait to come back and talk with you guys about Norman.

Well, I'm very tired and I want to get a good night sleep for tomorrow. I think of you guys all day long and can't wait to see you on Monday. Be good and have a GREAT day tomorrow.

Miss you tons,
Mrs. Driscoll

I miss you Corey Michael!

Hi Bubba,

Gigi misses you VERY much. You would have loved the aquarium! I know you would have pointed at all of the penguins and say, "Ooh!" and then you would have tried to count them all. There were so many and they made lots of funny noises. I think you would have been a little scared of the shark swimming in the giant fish tank though.

I am so proud of you for trying to sit on Santa's lap. Lots of babies are scared of Santa the first couple of times they see him, but then you will start to realize he's a jolly man who LOVES children and adults. Do you want to come with me when I bring Osci to see him on Sunday? I think Osci is going to wear his reindeer costume that Olivia bought him. You would like it.

Well, I am going to blog my class and Mrs. Springmeyer's class now. I miss you SO SO much and I can't wait to see you on Sunday.

Love you,
Gigi

Bean Town

Dear Mrs. Driscoll:

My dad went to school in Boston and my parents lived there for sometime and really loved it. What is your favorite part so far? My parents loved Fanuel Hall.
I am still up tonight because my fall ball baseball team had a victory party to celebrate the Mets championship victory (my team was called the Mets).
Mr. A has been taking very good care of us but I miss you alot.

By the way, why is it called Bean Town anyway?
Love, Michael

Corey misses Gigi

Gigi...............

Mommy bought me this new outfit today at the mall so that I could look cute with Santa.

There was snow and trees and BIG balls (ornaments) at the mall. I couldn't stop looking at everything.

But Gigi.....(I didn't like Santa)

hi Gigi!

Hi Gigi!

Mommy has been reading me all about your trip to Boston. I hope you are having fun there. We had tacos for dinner tonight, just like your class had them for lunch! Nana even liked them!

I saw Santa today. I didn't like him very much, but mommy said we'll keep going back and visiting with him until I feel comfortable sitting on his lap. Maybe Osci and I can go on Sunday night.

I loved Boston when I went there. The Children's Museum was so much fun. They had an entire room full of TRUCKS! And one with BUBBLES!

I sure miss you , Gigi. I can't wait to see you on Sunday.

Oh, one more thing....Uncle Sean sold his first house today!!!!!! (My house!!!!) We are very proud of him.

Love you, Gigi!

Sana Sheikh misses Mrs. Driscoll

Dear Mrs. Driscoll:

We all miss you. Sana is very sad. She is so sad that studying the Spanish vocabulary has become quite hard for her (L.O.L.). She has promised to master it before you come back though.
I hope you are having fun in Boston. Don't work too hard.

Love,

Amber (Sana's Mom)

SANA

Hi From 2S!

Dear Mrs. Driscoll,
At lunch yesterday Brian came up to me and said, "What are you doing here?" I said, "I teach here." He said, "But Mrs. Driscoll went to Boston and I thought you two do EVERYTHING together!" I guess not, you left me home alone...no I'm not alone I have 2S to keep me company! Sally S
What is the name of your hotel? Owen
Don't tell Mr. Corvino that you want to see Fenway Park more than Yankee Stadium. Mairead
Did you know that Mrs. Springmeyer went to college right across the street from Fenway Park?
You should get Oscar a chew toy that is made of Red Socks so he can destroy it. Clyde
You should visit Lexington on your way back. Apurva
What is your favorite restaurant so far? Apurva
What restaurant did you have lobster? Alexis
Mrs. Springmeyer loves the aquarium, the children's museum and the Boston Tea Party boat...they are all very close to each other. Let us know if you go to any of them.
we miss you!

Dear Jack,

I can't believe you are going to the Junior Olympics! I can't wait to hear all about the race. I think you are going to come home with another trophy! Good luck and keep us updated!

Good Luck!
Mrs. Driscoll

Hello Ryan!

Dear Ryan,

I am having a great time in Boston! Mrs. Ogden says hello and she misses you! Our hotel is very big. We actually rode a bus up here. It was really nice and it only took 5 hours. I hope you did well on your homework and I can't wait to see you on Monday. I miss you too!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Hi John!!

Dear John,

I'm doing great! I have seen lots of Red Sox fans EVERYWHERE! I am so excited that you are going to see Sam this weekend. Please tell him I said hello.
Be good tomorrow and I'll see you on Monday! I miss you!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Dear Graham,

I am having a great time, thank you for asking! Our hotel is right on the water and it's attached to the convention center where our conference is being held. I am not sure if there is a pool but Mrs. Ogden and I have a terrific view of the city. It's beautiful!

I haven't seen the Green Monster yet....although I wish it were Shea stadium instead. Although I would rather see Fenway Park than Yankee Stadium. Shh....don't tell Mr. Corvino!

I am so happy you had a great day with Mr. A and you got extra minutes at recess. Good for you!
I miss you and I'll see on Monday!
Mrs. Driscoll

Hi Tyler!

Dear Tyler,

I am glad your mom helped you with the blogging. What story did you read together? Right now I am sitting with Mr. Buckley and Mrs. Ogden talking about how our day went. It took us about 5 hours to get here, but we had a really nice bus. I listened to some music and read my book. It was very nice! We have an early day tomorrow filled with conferences and listening to wonderful speakers! I am looking forward to another great day. I promise to bring you a prize when I get back. I'm sorry I didn't bring it to school today....I was so proud of you when you started writing your Alaska facts. I can't wait to see you on Monday! Have fun tomorrow with Mr. A!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

I miss you Libby!

Hi Libby,

I haven't gotten anything for Oscar yet. What do you think I should get him? Mr. Driscoll said he was barking for awhile after I left. I think he misses me, but he'll be OK. Mr. Driscoll spoils him while I am away. Do you think he took his blanket off the couch and went to sleep early like he did on Halloween? I'll have to ask Mr. Driscoll and let you know.

I hope you have a good day tomorrow. Keep blogging!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Hi Alexia!

dear Alexia,

I miss you too!
I will try and take pictures of the hotel and post them on the blog. It really is beautiful though! As soon as you walk in the doors there are blue snowflakes on the wall and the entire lobby is decorated for the holidays. It's great!

Be good and keep blogging! I'll see you on Monday.

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Hi Valentina!

Dear Valentina,

Thank you so much for blogging! I miss you so much and can't wait to see you on Monday. I haven't seen the aquarium yet, but we are planning on visiting it tomorrow. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures of the polar bears. Do you think they will be eating salmon when I see them? I'll let you know! I can't wait to see you. Keep blogging!!!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

Hello 2D!!!

Hi everyone,

I was so happy to come back to my hotel room after a long day and see all of your posts! Thank you so much for writing to me. I am going to take pictures of the hotel and post them because the hotel is AMAZING! It's right on the water and it's attached to the convention center where the POCC conference is being held. We all went out to dinner tonight and ate lobster! It was yummy.

My roomate is Mrs. Ogden and we have a beautiful view of the city. We went for a long walk after dinner and all we saw were RED SOX fans! I wonder if Mr. Corvino is going to wear his Yankees sweatshirt tomorrow. What do you think?

I miss you all and can't wait to see you!

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll

A note from N.J.!

Hi Mrs. Driscoll,

How are you?
Have you gotten a gift for Oscar yet?
Guess what...my birthday is in 14 days!!!!
Mr.A's computer froze, and we could not do our Alaska facts.

Love,

Libby

Hello Boston

Hi Mrs. Driscoll,

I hope you are having a good time in Boston and I hope you are having a good time with Mrs. Smith-Willis. I hope you had a good drive to Boston.

Mr. A didn't give us the prize today. He said that we have to wait until Thursday because he didn't have anything to give. He has to buy something at the store tomorrow. Mr. A will bring the prize to us then. Remember, the prize is for the students who took out their Alaska packet when you asked us to.

How is the weather doing in Boston? It was a good day today here.

What are you doing now? I am sitting on my mother's lap while she types what I say.

I am going to listen to a story.

Sincerely,
Tyler

Are you having fun?

Hi Mrs. Driscoll,

How is your conference in Boston going? Where is your hotel? Is it nice? Is there a pool and a nice view from the window?

Have you seen the Green Monster?

We had a great time in school today, but we really missed you. We had a great time with Mr. A. We're going to have 3 extra minutes of recess tomorrow because we were good today.

Love from your student,
Graham

2D's thinking of you!

Dear Mrs. Driscoll,

We are eating snack now and we were thinking of you, so we decided to send you a "HELLO!"
We had tacos for lunch and had a great day all around. Mrs. D (Library) said that we behaved very VERY well in class, and it earned us an extra minute of recess with Mr. A! We hope you have a safe, great trip and we can't wait to hear from you!

Mr. A & 2D

P.S.
Here are some questions to keep you busy...

How's life in Boston?
What is your hotel like?
Did you meet any Red Sox fans?

Hello Boston!

Hi Mrs. Driscoll,

We hope you have a good time in Boston! We hope the hotel has a lot of good food. We hope you have a good time with Ms. Smith Willis and you can relax! We also hope you don't meet any Boston Red Sox fans.

What are you going to be doing at the convention? We are going to miss you.

Love,
2D

Boston...here we come!

Dear 2D,

I created this blog so we can keep in touch while I am in Boston. I will teach you how to log on so you can let me know how you're doing and ask me any questions you have. I know you will work hard while I am gone.....I will be working hard too! I can't wait to share stories with all of you.

I hope Mr. Driscoll takes good care of Oscar. What do you think I should buy him while I'm here?

Be good and I'll see you on Monday.

Love,
Mrs. Driscoll
