Summer Car Show to WALK WALK WALK AROUND!





Ms. Ewert loves to go to cars shows, I used to take my son. He is now 23 and goes on his own, usually with his fancy camera for some good photographs : ).
If I would have worn a PEDOMETER, I think 5,000 steps would have taken place(remember, we need 10,000 a per day!), because there were 100 cars to see!

Ms. Ewert went CAMPING near Sister's Oregon, along Metolius River!!












One of Ms. Ewert's favorite outdoor activities is to go CAMPING!! I spent four days along a beautiful river, hiking every day, walking around the town of Sister's, it is in Central Oregon, near Bend. I climbed to top of Black Butte, you could do this too! It is not very difficult : ). At the top of Black Butte is a Fire Tower, two of them, and a little cabin. I also went to a Fish Hatchery and viewed fingernail length fish, all the way to as long as a yard stick! I also spent fun time at Camp Sherman, for an ice cold drink. Jumping in the Metolius River each day was very refreshing : ). Some funny things happened too, with our tent and tent site : ). This makes a great family vacation!

Ms Ewert is learning to GOLF...to teach students!!














This is Ms. Ewert and her first lesson with a pro-golfer...I had so much fun!! I am left-handed but will learning to golf right-handed(like swinging baseball or throwing a ball with non-dominant side!). It is less expensive to buy equipment as a right-hander!

If you go with your parents to a driving range(golf course) and see me...come over and say HI : )!!

Happy Summer!

Our students had a great end to a school year! We ended with 'baseball'(a mini whiffle ball unit) out on grassy area. 'Big Base', and 'Beat the Ball Home', they did awesome!!

I also was able to collect up all the student photos I had taken throughout the school year(almost 900!!)and put them into a delightful 35 minute slideshow, which was enjoyed by entire school in our "P.E. Movie Theater", complete with big screen and terrific music : ). The students sang along, they clapped, they giggled, and truly enjoyed seeing themselves 'at the movies' : ). Staff was included in the slideshow, along with video clips of music, and kindergarten performances.

On a different note, our school is in the midst of changes with staff, 18 will not be returning to teach at our school in the Fall. I have also been let go by our administrator.

I would like to hear from students/school families on how summer is going, and throughout next school year! A good way to contact me is through the info I passed out to all students on a small half sheet of colorful paper they put into their backpacks the last day of school.

I will miss our wonderful dedicated staff, as they have become friends and truly a joy to work around! Despite the sad news of not returning to teach PE, I had and still have much joy for what I do, a passion for teaching young children that can not be taken away.

If you did not see the small colorful paper in your child's backpack with my contact info, here it is again : ), please stay in touch, you all have wonderful children that can make a positive difference in our community : ). chilipepper8759@yahoo.com

Ms. Cindi Ewert :0) - email me!
