This is SPRING Break?

I think I've found all of that snow we've been missing.  When I left for church yesterday morning, there was a dusting on the ground.  By 4:00 there was 7 inches.  This morning, we had 13!  At least it is beautiful!  I hope you are all having a great break.  Be safe and I'll see you Monday!
My dog, Oliver, loves snow.  Here is the proof!

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do!

Today wraps up our Read Across America Week.  We had college/school spirit day!  Everyone looked great!  Don't forget reading logs are due in the morning if you want in the drawing for the Kindle.

Wacky Wednesday

So, given today's theme, you can imagine the high quality of instruction students were able to handle.  We tried, but I'm not sure how successfully.  Take a peek below and see if you can understand why the students were so distracted.



 And we even found a couple of long lost relatives!

Sudoku and our Week

I meant to share this link last week.  We have been doing some sudoku puzzles in our morning work to help our logic.  There is a great, FREE website that I showed the class.  When you have a chance, check out www.jigsawdoku.com  and give it a try.  It is addictive! 

A few reminders for this week:
  1. The book fair is open all week.  Checks will not be accepted--cash, debit, and credit only.
  2. Tomorrow is class picture day.  Be sure to send in your check or money if you want to purchase a copy.
  3. Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday.  As far as I know, this will be an opt out (of SSA) day.  If that changes I will let you know.  
  4. Thursday is college/school spirit day.  Students may wear a college or school shirt over their regular collared shirt.
  5. Friday is the last day of the book fair.  They will pack it up at 11:30.
Have a great week.  Don't forget about Daylight Savings this weekend.
