Turkey Treats

First of all I want to thank you all for the donations to make this turkey treat possible...you are all very generous! Following step by step directions is one of our state standards....so today they had to prove to me that they could read and follow directions to construct a turkey. There were a lot of steps, but they turned out great. Your child should have a copy of the directions in his or her book bag.

Class Wish List

I appreciate all the support that you all have given this year. Several of you have sent in extra school supplies, and they have been much needed and used. I have updated our class wish list as there are some items that we could us. I realize not everyone may be able to help out, and that's fine. Thanks for all you do!!

Red Ribbon Week

Yet another successful day of dressing up!! Everyone showed up supporting their favorite team! (It was kind of bright outside so several are squinting....oops....should have found somewhere else for a picture!)

Food Drive

Today was our best day yet! Wow! You all are terrific!!

Catch Up....
