Hello Children

I have missed all of you very much!  I hope you had a great summer.  For those of you who have not met me, my name is Spot and I love to visit Mrs. Pape’s class.  I live with Calvin on Milford Road.  Here is a picture of my house.

Calvin helps to take care of me every day.  He feeds me my breakfast and dinner and takes me for walks.  I live with Calvin, Calvin’s mom and dad, and Calvin’s brother, William.  I also have a sister-dog named Casey and three brother-gerbils named Midnight, Cutie, and Ernie.  Here are pictures of Casey and the three gerbils.

During the day I usually spend time sleeping and hanging out in my backyard.  My favorite thing to do is go on walks around the neighborhood.  On my walks I see squirrels, birds, other dogs, cats, mommies, daddies, babies, cars, trucks, and bicycles.  When I see another dog or a young child, usually I can’t help myself.  I whine and cry until they come say hello to me.

Last year my mom started bringing me into your classroom to visit with you and listen to you read and learn.  I REALLY love doing that.  I can’t wait to see how much you have grown now that you are second-graders.

This year I may not visit every week but I do want to communicate with you as much as possible.  You see, I can’t talk like you can but my mom has agreed to write down what I am thinking so I can share that with you.  I am hoping you will want to write notes to me on this blog or in the dog bowl I am leaving in the classroom.  I promise I will write back as soon as I get your notes.  Also, I will leave some funny pictures and other cool things on this blog for you to see from time to time.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me a note or comment telling me a little about yourself so I can remember.
