Parkview Elementary

Well, it is crazy to think that school starts back up in a month. I am now back in Wooster, OH and am trying to quickly get things organized and set up within my classroom. I am still waiting on a desk, a file cabinet, student tables and a closet for student's belongings. They are due to arrive any day now! That is exciting!
Parkview is a very nice school with some great staff whom I have started to meet. I am really looking forward to my time here and to starting a full day kindergarten program in Wooster.

I have 2 bathrooms in my classroom that will be nice to have in Kindergarten. I am hoping to get some sort of closet to line up in front of the bathrooms for students coats and book bags. There is also a small closet in this picture of where I can put my own personal items as well as store some classroom things. This closet has a lock.

In this corner I have a huge closet with shelves to store things in. There is also a sink with a drinking fountain in this corner. The book shelf is very nice and I am hoping I can use it for my classroom library of books.

This is another corner of my room. I would like to put my classroom library/carpet area in this corner. There is a tv that hangs from the ceiling in the corner.

This is from one corner in my classroom. I have an outside door that leads to a Kindergarten playground. I am hoping to put a table of some sort near this corner for aids/parent volunteers to work at. My chalkboards are magnetic! Yeah!

My room was a library in the past. The poor librarian had to move all of her books. There has been a lot of shuffling at Parkview. This picture was taken at the beginning of June when I was able to see my room for the first time.

I will miss Akron Elementary!

About three weeks ago I accepted a full day kindergarten position at a school in Wooster, OH. It was a very difficult decision to make as I have really enjoyed my time teaching at Akron Elementary the last 5 years. However, Wooster is where my family resides and I am looking forward to being closer to them. I will especially miss all of my students whom I have had the privelage to teach! Thanks for making my time at Akron so special and something that I will never forget!

Please keep in touch! You can e-mail me at workmanerin@hotmail.com or send me letters through mail at:

I would love to keep in touch! I will miss you!

Beach Party

Everyone in Miss Workman's class was able to attend the Beach Party! Students read 5 books each week during school. They were treated to music, dancing, pizza and an extra long recess! It was so much fun!

Fair Oaks Farm

The boys loved the bus tour and seeing all the tractors and machines!

Whitney is trying to milk the cow!

DeLanie and Ariel are loving the bus tour!

Miss Workman's class in front of the combine!

Look at all of those cows being milked on the carousel!

Mikaylynn and Devan think this field trip is the coolest!

The baby calf was born! We were worried because the mommy cow did not see her baby and she accidentally stepped on it. The baby calf was ok though!

On Monday we went to Fair Oaks Farm. They have 30,000 cows! We only saw about 3,000! The kids had so much fun watching a 3-D movie, playing in the interactive area, taking a bus tour and eating ice cream! We also got to watch a cow give birth to a baby calf! Lots of questions......lots of fun! We really had a great day and the kids are still talking about it!

Tree Planting

Everyone student in Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation planted a tree! The kids really enjoyed themselves and it was a fun learning experience! Thanks Mrs. Horell and Mrs. Heltzel for taking us while Miss Workman did K testing!

Congratulations Mason, Joana, and Payton!

Miss Workman has been SUPER busy lately and these should have been posted 2 weeks ago! Way to go kids! They passed all 30 levels on Reading Racers!
