3.21 HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY!
Happy World Down Syndrome Day! 3.21 = to represent 3 chromosomes on the 21st pair. Last year I devoted the day to teaching units on diversity in Emma's elementary school. This week I am hanging with the kids watching it snow. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUTU! We think it is cool that Tutu's birthday is also Down Syndrome Awareness Day. In honor of both of them, this is the first digital photo that I have of Joe & Tutu. Joe is 6 months old in this photo and Tutu is something like 28 years old (which would have made me about 15 years old, but I am not a math genius). In 4 1/2 years Joe has grown so much!

Writer's Workshop
Anna Celenza is visiting us this week. This morning she was a guest author for Writer's Workshop in Emma's class. The students had read her books and listened to the CDs before she visited. During her time with the second graders she talked about developing ideas for stories. Emma was very proud to have Anna in her classroom.

Singing her way to spring
Emma is busy singing this winter! She still sings in the church choir and she is continuing with the MSU Children's Prep Choir. Next month she will begin German language classes on Thursday afternoons taught by MSU German language graduate students. She is excited because her pen-pal Jana lives in Germany and speaks German. Hopefully, Emma will be able to pen a few German words to her by the end of the school year. Tonight Emma is going with a few friends to see the final MSU Women's home basketball game for the season. It is fan appreciation night so anyone wearing anything with MSU on it gets in for free. This is what Emma plans to wear.
