What a Great Week!

 Wow! This week just zipped on by! We had lots of fun things going on this week and we learned a lot!

On Thursday we earned our month reward and had Wii time. These pictures are from our fun afternoon:

On Friday we performed our play for our parents, families, and friends. Below you'll find a few links to some neat pictures and videos.

The Play

The Credits

A special thank you goes to Mr. Kern and his family and all their hard work to put this play together. He truly does an awesome job!

I'd also like to thank the Tice family for their video of the play. For some reason my technology didn't quite work! If you'd like a DVD copy of the play, look for a note next week.

 

All Rested!

I hope you feel rested and enjoyed the time off from school. I know that I thoroughly enjoyed some time with my two little ones, although I missed each student very much!

Last week was an exciting week! Family Math Day was a huge success. Click the link to view pictures from the day taken by a volunteer! Family Math Day 2013.

We also had a poison control presentation last week. Mrs. Wiemeri did a wonderful job reminding us what poisons are.

We are already in the groove of this week. You can review our newsletter and spelling words below.

Some important notes:

• We earned our March reward. During the last hour of the day on Thursday we will be having free time on Nintendo Wiis (courtesy of myself and Mr. Gibson). Your child is welcome to bring in a school appropriate game if he or she would like. We could also use 1 or 2 more Wii remotes if you are willing
• Our 2nd grade play is on Friday at 1:00. I hope to see each of you there. They have been working really hard!!! I will post the video and pictures on here next week.

Two weeks ago we had stone soup. I forgot to post the pictures then, so they are here now. Enjoy!
