February 3 Snow Days

Hi Parents,
I am so sorry about the conference confusion with snow days. Truth be told, I thought I could call you guys at home, but with an almost 2 year old, that wasn't really possible. I apologize. I will be sending home a mini progress report along with some of your child's writing samples. If you have any questions or concerns, please call, e-mail, or set up a time to meet. I am available at 7:30, 10:30 (students are at morning recess), 11:30 (my plan time) and 3:30.

January 28 Baby Shower

What a fun way to end a Friday! The students and I enjoyed treats and punch in celebration of me having a baby. Thank you so much M.N. for hosting!

January 26 100th Day

Snack Time!

.

The students took a paper that had the number 100 on it and turned it into something. Pretty cool!

Happy 100th DAY!

100th Day Activities:

• Finding 100 items on a work guide
• Turning the number 100 into something (picture on blog)
• Eating a snack that consisted of 100 items (THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOOD DONATIONS!!)
• Counted out 100 beans and then made a picture out of them
• Made a 100 shape book
• Made a 100 day hat

I am 100% thankful for all of your support!

Edible Dug Out Houses

The students made their own Dug Out home. We pretended the cupcake was a part of a hill and then the students "dug out" a place for a home.

The cupcakes were egg free thanks to an online recipe where you just had a can of pop to the cake mix. They turned out amazing, I recommend trying it!!!
