Happy weekend everyone. I am writing to you a little earlier than usual because I will be away for the weekend. We are going to New York City for the weekend to get into the Christmas spirit. Driving to Springfield and then taking the train in.
This week we are not going to be doing Wonders. We will do other things for reading and finish up on our science unit. We do have spelling words to work with this week, but we will not have a spelling test. Don't forget that we have a half day on Thursday. We will have our party that day. We are going to watch "The Muppet's Christmas". We will do our gift exchange and Mr. Mud is providing pizza and drinks. If anyone would like to send in a snack please feel free. I know we have some cookies coming in and also brownies. If the kids would like to give little trinkets and notes to their Secret Santa they may do that. We are having a lot of fun with this. Teddy is also keeping us entertained. Our room is all decked out from our beautiful trees on the ceiling to all the other decorations and lights around the room. I hope you all have a great weekend. Enjoy the game on Saturday night. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the best of a Happy New Year. Please stay safe and healthy. The Dunking Doughnuts have been doing such a good job. Enjoy the first snow. Happy weekend everyone. It is freezing up here on the Mud Hill which cuts into all of my Saturday morning errands. I will just have to wait a couple of hours. The kids probably told you guys that we hit a deer in Francestown on Thursday night going to visit my son Tyler. It just flew out of the woods. There was nothing we could do. The deer was okay but our front end was not! 5 thousand and change for the damage. We were not hurt, just shaken up. Mrs. Mud was driving her SUV. I think if it was my car it could have been worse! Oh well that is what you have insurance for.
We all picked our Secret Santa names. The kids said that they have all kept the secret. I hope the survey that Mrs. Murphy made with the kids will help out with the gift buying. The kids are so excited. We are also having so much fun with Teddy our elf. He was very naughty on Friday. Report cards should be coming to you on Wednesday electronically. Keep your fingers crossed. The Dunking Doughnuts did well. They all work very hard for us and we are always so proud of them. Wonders this week will be Unit 3 week 2. Our genre will be historical fiction. Our new spelling words are on the spelling page of this website. We continue in math on unit 4. We have started our fast math program. The kids work at their own pace. They get a minute to complete each table. When they have mastered twice, they get to move on to the next table. They are very excited about that also. The kids are doing a great job on IXL and Reading Counts. They are so good at logging onto the computers now. The first Blizzard Bag for the first snow day will be coming home on Tuesday. There will be work in the bag for the day. Most of it is reinforcement work and there is nothing in the bag that is a new skill and would have to be taught. They should read on that day also. The bag will be self explanatory. That's if we ever get any snow! Have a great weekend everyone. The driveway looks like it is melting a bit and Dunkin Donuts is calling! LOL. No Patriots game!!! Stay safe and healthy! Our class is doing amazing! Happy weekend to all. I hope you guys had a nice three day weekend. I had the chance to meet with one of my college roommates, did some shopping and decorated some more!
This week we are back to a normal 5 day week. Our room looks great. It is so festive and the kids did a nice job on decorating their trees. Teddy(our elf) came back on Wednesday. We found him sleeping in Snoopy's doghouse. He was very tired from his long journey. I guess he ran into a huge snowstorm. On Thursday he was in Gavin's tepee eating my oreo cookies! We know that he loves to snack and he is very mischievous! You never know where he is going to be or what he is going to do. This week in Wonders, we will be on Unit 3-week 1. The new spelling words are listed on the spelling page and we will have a test on Friday. In math, we are moving on to Unit 4. The kids did an awesome job on their unit 3 assessment. Unit 4 will address multiplication, division and measurement. This week, the kids are going to pick names for their Secret Santa. They can buy their person a present and we will reveal the Secret Santas on the day of our Christmas party. Please keep the cost between 8 and 10 dollars. This year we are going to take turns telling what types of things we are interested in. (Thank you Kaylin, great idea). Last year the kids gave hints and little trinkets to their Secret Santa the week before the actual reveal. We will see who can keep the secret the longest. On the day of the party, we will get three guesses to see if they can guess their Secret Santa. It is really fun. For the party, I will treat the class for pizza. If we could get a few baked goods for the party, that would be great. We will be dismissed on Thursday the 23rd at 12:00. We continue to do an awesome job in the classroom. The kids are learning so much and they are excited about school. Thank you for keeping them healthy. I can't believe the first semester is over and it is the 63rd day of school. Time sure flies. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. No Patriots today, but it should be a great game tomorrow night. Stay safe and healthy and I will see you guys tomorrow morning. Can't wait to hear about your three day weekend. |
I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
