It was so nice to take advantage of the weather this week.  The students loved getting out to run around without jackets.  The recess parents even brought them out for awhile today before the weather turned.

Report cards were sent home today.  If you have any questions about your child's report don't hesitate to call me.  Please view these grades as indicators of where your child is doing well and where they need help.  They do not necessarily reflect how hard your child is working or what kind of a student he/she is.  

    We enjoyed some wonderful folktales this week in the form of plays.  The children love to perform and are excited whenever we do plays.  It was a fun week.



    

We had fun making s'mores this week.  The students were surprised at how the marshmallows puffed up in the microwave.  Here are the very easy directions: place one square of graham cracker on a napkin.  Place 1/4 of a Hershey's candy bar on top.  Place 6 miniature marshmallows on the chocolate.  Put in microwave and cook  on high for 8-9 seconds.  Place second graham cracker square on top and enjoy.

     









Every day we work towards playing a game the last 10 to 15 minutes of class.  Not only is it a great team builder but games like 20 questions are great for building critical thinking skills. Basically, good behavior from the class as a whole earns us a game and most days we do earn it.
