Santa Comes To Visit!

Grandparent's Day Pictures!

Two Days of School!

Just a reminder that we only have 2 days of school this week (unless the snow has something to say about it!)  We will have winter break from December 22 through January 2. 
I hope to see everyone on January 3, rested and ready to go! :)

Grandparent Craft Day and a visit from Santa!!!

On Friday, we had grandparent craft day!  The kids and their special person(s) had so much fun!  I think most of the time was spent at the Gingerbread table!  A lot of goodies went on the house and in the tummies!! :)  We were having so much fun that we were almost late for lunch!  We did make it but were just a little late!  The afternoon was just as crazy as we finished up our gifts for our parents.  I wanted to get them done and sent home on Friday because of the weather they are talking about for this coming week!  The kids helped with clean up and even enjoyed a movie!  I know that I was exhausted on Friday afternoon, I am sure the kids and the grandparents were too!  :)
We had a special visitor come on Friday during snack time!  Santa Claus came to visit!!!  The kids were so excited!  I am hoping to post some pictures on here, as soon as I learn how to do that!! :)  I will try to work on that this week!  So keep watching! :)

We are busy!

We have lots of things to do this week!  With Grandparent's day on Friday, we have so much to do and get done!  The kids are so excited and are working hard to get everything ready for Friday!  Hopefully everything will go off without a hitch and the weather will cooperate!  :)

We are awesome!!

Today we had a concert in the gym.  We got to see the 5th and 6th graders do a practice of their concert for tomorrow.  We were very good listeners and were very respectful, so much so that we were judged as the best class in the gym.  Next time we have an assembly we will get to sit in the special chairs!! :)  WAY TO GO!  I am so proud of them!!!!

Things Are Changing!

We started new centers today.  The kids were very excited!  I was very apprehensive as I felt I was introducing too many!  The kids absolutely loved them!  They kept waiting for a center to open up so they could go and try it!  It was hard to keep them focused on a center when they were waiting!   I told them they would get a chance to try all of the new centers!  So far the hits are the listening center and the stamping center.  Now I just have to figure out how to keep their hands out of the stamp pad ink!  :)

Thank You Cards

Today we created thank you cards to send to the troops who are overseas.  We talked about how far away they were from home and how they weren't able to be with their family during the holiday season.  The kids did a great job and were very excited to being doing something to make other people happy!  I stopped at the post office today to mail them off!  I hope the military troops are excited to receive them!

Report Cards

Report Cards will be coming home next Friday (Dec. 10th).  I have spent the week checking the students on their skills and very excited to see their progress.  I know that you will be excited to see their report cards next week!  Please keep doing all of the awesome work at home that you have been doing!  They are making some great progress!!! 

Snow is Flying!

The snow is sure flying outside and that bring to mind that all the kids need to be dressed for the weather!  Please make sure your child has all the necessary winter gear with them every day! The kids love to play in the snow!  They will have a lot of snow to play in when they get to school on Monday!
