The Pacer Test will be given to all students during the week of January 11. The Pacer Test is a cardiovascular endurance test. Please encourage your child to do his/her best and most importantly WEAR TENNIS SHOES!

Today, while working on problem solving, I noticed that some students still need to work on their doubles (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 8+8=16, etc.). Please spend a little time working with your child on the doubles to 20 (nothing higher than 10+10). Thanks!
Well, just as I thought, the kids had a BLAST out at recess, despite that fact that it was VERY cold! Though snow boots and snow pants are optional, I really would like every child to have a hat and gloves/mittens. Recess is 30 minutes and that's just too long to be outside without proper winter attire. Some students had thin little gloves, and though they are better than going without, they really don't provide much warmth, and they don't work well for playing in the snow. If at all possible, please send gloves/mittens that are thicker and waterproof. The calendar is DONE! It's under the snack calendars tab.
Well friends............................the party is over! Time to head back to school. Though I enjoyed EVERY minute of break, I am more than ready to return to school. After spending the last couple of weeks with two teenagers, I'm ready to be reunited with the little ones!!! I wanted to give you a head's up that we WILL be going out to recess tomorrow. Afterall, we LOVE playing in the snow! If your child has snow boots and snow pants, he/she will be allowed to play IN the snow. If not, he/she will still go outside but will be limited to the blacktop. I have recess duty and am looking forward to going out with the kids. It brings me such joy to see them playing in the snow!! Don't forget a hat AND mittens or gloves. Please, if at all possible, send your child's snow attire in a separate bag. It's just too much to shove snow clothes and school work all into the same backpack. Recyclable grocery totes work great, though anything will do, even a Wal-Mart sack. Christmas CardsPlease keep in mind that I recycle Christmas cards. If you have some that you would be willing to share with me, please send them to school sometime this week. The kids LOVE making Christmas cards. I bet you received a few yourself! Snack CalendarThough I had good intentions of working at school during break, I just got here and it's 4:30 on Sunday afternoon. Yikes! On top of this, my daughter just called and told me that my stepdaughter and my grandchildren are on their way to our house for supper. Double Yikes!
I probably won't be able to make the new snack calendar until tomorrow so let's just be flexible for a day or two. We have Brooklynn's snack that we forgot to pass out on December 22 so we will use that for Monday. Look for a new snack calendar to come home asap. Our special for tomorrow is Music and Tuesday it's Library. |
