Happy weekend everyone. What a beautiful Sunday. Great day for a hike or anything outdoors.
We had a great first week back to school after Christmas vacation. It's always tough to come back after the Christmas break. The kids did great! We had an awesome Zoom class on Friday. The kids were so excited to share their favorite gifts. Lots of good conversation, positive comments and interaction. I really enjoyed it. We are stretching out Wonders 3-4 for another week. That way we can finish our weather unit in science and get to some other stuff. The kids are getting to be experts at the different types of clouds. We will do some more observing this week. I am very impressed at how the kids are doing on their multiplication facts. They have done amazing on the 2's, 5's and 10's. Now we will move on to 3's and 4's. We will be starting a new math activity this week called "Fast Math". The kids get one minute to complete a certain multiplication table.(12 problems). We start with the 1's and go up to the 12's. If they complete the same problems of the same table two days in a row with one hundred percent, they get to move on. It is not a competition, but a race against themselves. The kids last year loved doing it. We are at the end of unit three in math, and we will take our assessment on Wednesday and Thursday. The kids are more than ready. Next, it is on to measurement. I just went to school and picked up a delivery from our "Godparents". Mr. and Mrs. Bergen have been bringing us all kinds of snacks and school supplies since September. They are so good to us. I will have the kids make thank you cards for them this week. Their kids are all grown up, and they just love to give back to my kids. If Mud's Munchkins forget a snack or need some more to eat we have got it covered. We also have tons of water. I am still enjoying and reaping the benefits of all the wonderful Christmas gifts. The food, the candles, the ornaments, the blankets and the gift cards. Thank you again so much. I am very lucky. Stay healthy and safe everyone. We want to stay in school. I need to be in a classroom setting with my kids. I feel that they need to be there too! Keep up the good work. Have a great day everyone. Enjoy whatever you are going to do today.

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
