El rincón de Mr. Fox

This is my new principal holding a huge sunflower we grew!

Here’s a quick update for all of my friends from PS 89! The students in my class have been working on building a garden that hangs from the wall. They’re going to grow plants and flowers! You can read more about it on my other website: fabledfoxes.wordpress.com

I recently drove to Nashville and got caught in a winter storm! My car was covered in a thick layer of ice.

Here is a picture from my recent trombone concert. Four of my students came to hear my perform!

I went to Maryland a few weekends ago to try muskrat. It was… delicious?

Here is my class mailing their persuasive letters! We haven’t received any response yet…

If you want, you can write to me at this address:

Hi! Ms. Alford sent me your awesome birthday greetings 🙂 Thank you so much for remembering me. I think about you guys all the time and I hope I can come back and visit sometime very soon! Here are some pictures of my new class and my new school. I hope you like them! Please keep in touch! -Mr. Fox

My classroom has a nice view of a forest — there’s even a little fox that lives there. I haven’t seen her yet 😦 My new class is learning the same kind of stuff that you guys learned last year. They have book clubs and partnerships. Here is a picture of some writing partners meeting on the rug. We were very lucky and got to talk to an archaeologist a few weeks ago. He was looking in the dirt around the school for important things from the Civil War era that got buried under the ground. That big field with all the weeds is going to be our community garden! It’s going to take a lot of work to get it ready for the spring. Maybe you guys can take a field trip with your classes and come down for a visit! 🙂 Please say hi to everyone!

Here are some pictures from Washington, D.C.! I wish we could have gone on a field trip here because there is so much cool stuff to do and see.

I’m sitting on the side of the Lincoln Memorial here. It’s the building that you see on pennies and 5 dollar bills.

This is what some of the houses in Washington, D.C. look like.

Some of the Supreme Court Justices (past and present): Sandra Day O’Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor & Elena Kagan.

I hope you are all having a great summer. Please keep in touch!
