Mrs. J's amazing fun in Jupiter the city not the planet!!!


Hello Friends!!!
How are you doing this fine 29th day of July? I am doing well and have so many neat things to tell you about my trip in Jupiter. Mr. J and I had lots of fun at the beach. We went snorkeling almost every day we were there and saw lots of neat things in the water. We saw big schools of fish, sand dollars, seahorses, and lots of icky seaweed!!!! We also did lots of boogie boarding!!!

Mr. J and I also had lots of fun at the pool. We played lots of volleyball and water polo and our dogs even played in the pool too. Ernie wanted to play volleyball so bad one day that he just decided to jump right in the pool!!!! What a silly dog!!!

Is anybody reading any good books right now? I am finishing a good book right now and can't wait to start another one!!! I've also been learning to play the guitar and it is quite fun!!!

Well, friends, I hope you have a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!! Keep having fun and I'll see you soon!
Love,
Mrs. J

Mrs. J's new pet alligator!!


Hi Friends!!
How is everyone doing this fine 15th day of July? I am doing well and wanted to tell you all about my adventures on Sunday with Mr. J! We went kayaking down rapids and actually saw a baby alligator!! It was a six mile kayak trip where we saw lots of neat wildlife and beautiful rushing rapids. This Friday we are leaving to go to the city of Jupiter for some beach time and fun in the kayaks again.

I am so proud of you guys for all the reading you are doing this summer and all the fun you are having with your family and friends. I can't wait to see you again this coming school year and you can tell me all about your adventures in person!!!

Keep up the great work friends and continue to have fun learning, exploring, and discovering all the wonders of life!!
Love,
Mrs. J

Mrs. J's wild, wonderful and wacky weekend adventures!!


Hujambo, Friends!! (That means hello in Swahili :)

I'm so happy to hear that all of you are having a wonderful summer break!! I love hearing all about the swimming lessons, swim meets, vacations and all the books you are reading!! Mr. J and I went to Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island for the 4th of July. We drove up for the day and had lots of fun at the beach. We did some boogie boarding, some shelling and even played football in the sand. It was tons of fun!! I have also been keeping busy getting things all ready for next year. We are going to be going on lots of neat virtual fields, talking with pen pals through blogs and learning about creating our own class website!!

Next week, Mr. J and I are going down to Jupiter, FL to spend time at the beach for a week! Ollie and Ernie are going to come with us and partake in the fun times at the beach too! Has anybody done any fun science experiments this summer or made any neat recipes with Mom? I've been doing some experiments to test for next year and I think we are going to be some very busy scientists this coming school year!! Are you ready to be a mad scientist again this year??!

Well, friends, I'm so proud of all the great reading you've been doing and all the great swimming!! I've been teaching lots of people about different exercises and helping them become stronger too. Keep up the great w0rk and have fun!!!

Love,
Mrs. J

Mrs. J's wild and wonderful adventures!!


Howdy Friends!!
Wow, I am so so so impressed with all the neat things you are doing this summer!! My puppies are excited to hear about all you are doing too!!!

Conrad, you have been a very busy boy and I am so impressed with all the neat things you are doing. The beach you went to sounds beautiful and the sand sounds magical! I went and saw the movie Up in 3D too. Did you like it? I thought it was really good!! Keep up the good work, Conrad, I'm so proud of you!!

Katherine, it sounds like you are having a great summer too!! The book you just finished sounded like a good one. Do you have another book ready to start? I would recommend getting into some Nancy Drew boys if you want a good mystery. I used to really like reading the Lemony Snicket books. Have you ever heard of those? I'm so proud of you for all the great reading you are doing and all the fun you are having!!

Wow, Ben, you are doing some really fun things this summer!! Have fun with all your traveling and make sure you take some good books along with you!!

Alex and Matthew, boy, are you guys having fun this summer too! Camp sounds really fun, Alex and Matthew, way to go with all the boogie boarding and fun in the water. Camp Crystal sounds really fun too. I've never been there. Do you think I should go? What do you do there? Keep up that great reading, Alex, I'm so proud of you!!!

Well guys, Mr. J and I had to change our plans so we didn't make it to the beach after all. We did lots of kayaking though!! We went to a beautiful state park called Rainbow Springs State Park. It was very pretty and we had a great time kayaking along the river. We actually saw two otters, a water snake and lots of great fish and birds. On the way back to the beginning of the river, we got caught in a bad rain storm. It was raining so hard that we couldn't see in front of us!! It started to stop and then I turned around to tell Mr. J that the rain wasn't too bad and it started again!!! It was even harder the second time and it almost flipped us out of our boat!!! The rain started to slow down again and I told Mr. J that I wasn't going to say anything about the rain this time and then it started to rain harder on us again!!! Can you believe that???? We got caught in the rain three times!!! All in all, we had a great time together this weekend and I can't wait for this next weekend!!!

Continue to have fun this summer, friends and thank you all for writing and keeping the blog going. I have so much fun writing with you and I'm so proud of everything you are doing. Keeping reading, writing and having fun!!

Love,
Mrs. J

Wow, I am so impressed with all the neat things you are doing this summer! Conrad, you seem to be having so much fun at camp and I sure hope you will bring pictures for all of us to see when school starts again in August!! Camp sounds so exciting... do they let teachers go to camp? I would sure love to go!!!
Katherine and Savannah, it sure sounds like you are having a great summer too!! Going swimming is a perfect way to cool off in this heat and get some good exercise at the game time!! Way to go, girls!!!
Mr. J and I are going to the beach this weekend. We hope that there are good waves so that we can go boogie boarding. Have any of you friends been boogie boarding before? Our puppies, Ollie and Ernie are going with us too!! The puppies love the beach!!
