Welcome Back

I am so excited to start the second semester! I have had a wonderful winter break, full of relaxation and rest. I am ready to jump back in, and there are many exciting things coming our way! To start, there are some changes in our Specials Schedule. Kindergarten now has specials EVERYDAY first period. Starting at 8:00 A.M. we will be walking our class into the main building for the students daily specials. Please do not be late. Also, the following information was sent home in a letter in your child's new take home folder:

• Starting January 13th we will be starting weekly spelling tests. Your child will receive a list of 5 words ever Monday and the tests will be given on the following Friday. Be sure to complete the additional homework as well as study, study, study!

• Starting January 13th everyone will be given a writing journal to take home to complete nightly writing prompts. At the beginning of every month your child will receive a calendar of writing prompts to be completed every night. Every Friday they will turn their journals into the teacher so we can provide feedback/positive encouragement on their progress.

Christmas Around the World 2013

Here we are in line with our suitcases and passports in hand. We are ready to start our adventure around the world! 

 Everyone made it on to our "airplane." Our seat belts are fastened, we are sitting in the upright position, and are ready to take off! 

For our trip to the North Pole, we were able to take the Polar Express Train. Our PJ's are on, we have our tickets in hand, and are ready for some hot coco! 

Passport Night

First, my apologies for the delay on posting these pictures. The end of the semester came so quickly, in the whirlwind I never got to post the last events of the semester.

However, even though it was some time ago, I thought you might like to see your future artists at work! The students had a blast painting their masterpieces for Passport Night. 

The November Family Project also turned out great! The 3-D representations looked good enough to eat!
