Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the snowday. I look forward to seeing everyone again when we return January 5th. Until then, ... happy holidays!

Just a Reminder!

Tuesday, December 16th we visit the Polar Express. Please feel free to wear your pajamas! If you wear your P.J.'s, please bring in either a dollar or donate a fleece blanket to the children at Spectrum Hospital. Thanks ahead of time for your generosity!

Great Christmas Concert!

I was so impressed. What excellent singers and an awesome music teacher. Thanks Mrs. Good for all of your hard work!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It’s hard to believe that our Christmas party is next Thursday. We will be starting at 2:30, please feel free to join us and if you can help donate any items for the party and haven’t sent in a note or replied in an e-mail, please let me know ASAP. Thanks ahead of time for all of your hard work in making our holiday celebration a success!
Math: We are in the middle of unit 5. We are doing many activities with graphs and answering questions using skills such as place value and multiplication.
Language Arts: We are finishing “King Wacky”. We had a great time pretending to be King Wacky, writing a letter saying the opposite of what we mean.
Science: The children have been exposed to the 6 different simple machines. We have discussed real life examples and how simple machines make our lives easier.

Just a reminder that we have our music concert on Tuesday night @ 6:45 p.m. in the High School auditorium. We are suppose to meet in the band room and we should try to get there 10-20 minutes early. Can't wait to see everyone! Wednesday we have Secret Santa shopping, so please send money if you want your child to buy anything. Thanks!

Sledding

We had a great time sledding today. Unfortunately I only got a few shots while we were out. Have a great weekend and enjoy the snow!

Ready for Christams?

I hope that everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving and the snow day yesterday. I am thankful for all of you! I am so impressed with your generosity, as we had the most can goods donated, way to go! I promised the kids a sledding party if they made it above 150 cans, so we will do that Friday afternoon.
We have many exciting things to look forward to. Tuesday, December 9th we have our Holiday music program at the High School. I want to encourage the children to dress up and relax. I’ve heard them all sing and they are wonderful. We also have Secret Santa shopping next Wednesday the 10th. If you would like your child to purchase gifts please send money in an envelope.

Math: We have had a great time doing activities with multiplication and division. One of our favorites has been playing multiplication baseball. The test on unit 4 will be this Friday.
