Thursday

What a great day! We had a wonderful class Christmas party! Thank you to Mrs. Valentine, Mrs. Quinn and all the other parent helpers, who made the day so special.

Students did an awesome job singing their hearts out at the Christmas Concert last night and they all looked so beautiful in their holiday clothes.
Thank you to Mrs. Quinn who made our class angel for the Christmas Concert.

We are at the end of the 2nd quarter and grades close tomorrow. We managed to finish up our science unit on weather. It helped that we had actual rainfall and weather. We had a blast seeing how much rain collected in the rain guage. We also measured and graphed the temperature along with the wind speed using a weather vain, and the air speed using an anemometer.

I will be sending home the 1st semester math workbooks home tomorrow. Students DO NOT need to finish any unfinished pages in the book. They can if they want to for practice.They were given their new math textbooks and workbooks today.

Treats and a movie! What a great Christmas party!

Candy Relay

Christmas Bingo!

Students had fun playing Bingo!

Angel decoration for the Christmas Concert

Mrs. Quinn has graciously volunteered to create our angel for the Christmas Concert.
She has received only 16 beautiful little angels. That means she is missing about 8 angels. If your child has not turned in a decorated little angel, please bring it tomorrow so it can be part of the class angel. the decoration is due on Monday.
