OH MY GOODNESS!!  Thank you never seems like enough, but thank you all so much for all the school supplies and snacks.  You guys have over done it.  :) Your kindness and generosity is such a blessing.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Computer Monitor

One of our computer monitors was broken.  If anyone has an extra one that you are not using, would you be willing to donate it to our classroom?
thanks

I hope everyone had a good Spring Break.  We only have 37 days left of school!  "How time flies when you are having fun. 
These last days will be very busy days.  Help your child stay focused until the end.  Thanks

Writing Letter

This week in Language we are learning about using commas in a friendly letter.  We will write a letter later in the week.  If your child wants to actually send that letter please have them bring the address of the person they want to write to and a stamp.  Thank you for your help.

Family Reading Night

March 3rd is Family Reading Night.  PTO will begin serving pizza at 5:30.  (Reservation forms have been sent home.)  The reading fun begins at 6:00.  Hope to see you there.

Classroom Needs/Wants

Hey guys,  I know you're probably thinking, "They always want something at that school."  Well yes, I want/need more.  Sorry-----but I am always looking for ways to teach and motivate the students.
After going to the Ron Clark Academy, I am trying to find ideas to somewhat implement some of the things they do there.  They really work hard to keep all students engaged, excited about school, and 'on their toes.'   If anyone has one of the small, indoor trampolines I would like to use one of those as a fun entrance on Friday, an incentive, and reward.  Also, a small drum would be cool.  Even a homemade one.  One of those balls with the different colored light would be neat, also. 
I also need fun, appropriate songs such as the one that's something like "Let's get it started....."
And----- any ideas YOU may have to help keep the students engaged because they don't know what will happen next.  I know it cannot all be a party, but if we can keep them guessing and expecting they will focus and therefore learn because they are having FUN!!Thanks for any help you can give.

Second semester has begun.  The students are now 2 1/2 graders. :) 
We are looking forward to a fun, learning second semester!!
Thanks for all you do for our students!!
