Drill Day!

We made it!  We passed our drill day.  We did not have any problems and everyone did a WONDERFUL job following directions.  Yeah!

Apologies for my lack of posts last week.  We had to make a very difficult choice about our dog last week.  On Saturday we had to say goodbye to him.  It is amazing how much our pets become part of our families.  

We will test on Thursday this week.  I have to be out on Friday of this week.  We are also having a 2 hour delay on Friday, which will make testing rather difficult.

Snow, No Snow, Snow

The snow was a big hit today.  It was all the kids could talk about all morning.  It was almost as if they had never seen snow before.  I am sure we will see the snow again, but it may not this year.  Everyone was thrilled to hear that we would get to go home early.  I just wish the snow had stuck around so the kids could have played in it when they got home. 

Interim reports went home today.  Please send a signed copy back to school tomorrow.  If you are interested in having a conference, please let me know so that we can schedule a date and time.

Thursday Mania

Today we had a number of guest readers visit our class.  It was a joy to hear the students interacting with our readers and talking about what they heard in the funny stories.  We are also learning some lessons from Dr. Seuss and his books.  We have learned to take care of the environment, not to give up, be responsible for the choices we make, and you are never too important to apologize.  Hopefully all the students are realizing Dr. Seuss is for all ages.
