The Adventures of Dewey and Emerson

Guess Where I’m Going!

Very soon I will be taking a trip very far away! Try to guess where I’m headed…

I’m going to be visiting a European country with a rich history. The city I’m staying in is know as “The City of Lights”. The World’s Fair was held there in 1900 and many famous movies have been filmed here. Think you know where I’m going? Leave me a comment with your best guess! First person to correctly identify the city and country gets 5 tickets.

I can’t wait for my adventure!

Love, Dewey

Congratulations, Victoria! You guessed correctly! Next time I’ll have to make the clues a little harder. Please remind Mrs. Gentis that she owes you 5 tickets from me. -D

Dewey Does Fiesta: The River Parade

The San Antonio River Parade celebrated Texas this year as barge after barge floated down the San Antonio River. I was lucky to be sitting with Mrs. Raba and we had a perfect view of the barges as they made their last curve in the river. 

I kicked back to watch and I noticed that each of the floats was driven by a guy in a funny blue and red coat! Ah! The hosts of our evening festivities, the Texas Cavaliers! The Cavaliers were founded in 1926 to promote and preserve the ideals of the heroes of the Alamo. Today, they are business men who promote charitable and civic causes. The floats are ridden on by members of local organizations such as the Daughters of the Revolution of Texas and staff from Christus Santa Rosa Children’s Hospital.

 There were also many floats that had service men and women from all branches of the military. I saluted them and a few waved back! I bet they have incredible adventures everyday!

I think Emerson said he was going to Night In Old San Antonio Wednesday night. I wonder what he’ll see?

Have an adventure everyday!

Love, Dewey

P.s. What is your favorite Fiesta event? What Fiesta event have you not been to, but really want to go to? Let me know!

What’s In A Name?

Mrs. Gentis put a lot of thought into our very special names. Naming a person or a character is very important! What is in a name? A name should say something about a person or character. Is he silly? Is she beautiful? Unique? Have a special characteristic?

Mrs. Gentis named her kitten “Sachi” because it means “joy” in Japanese and her kitten brought so much joy to her life. Mrs. Upright (your Principal!) named her new puppy Finn because she is a Jimmy Buffett fan.

Ask your parents how you got your name and leave me a comment.

Have an adventure everyday!

Love, Dewey

P.s. The first person to figure out who Mrs. Gentis named us after (first name only) will get 5 tickets per name (so a possible ten total tickets) !!! Good Luck!
