Today we got to see a sneak peek of our school's float for Saturday's parade. It looks incredible!! 

Here's the link to an article our float and school were featured in too. Check it out!

Thanksgiving Houses

This morning we took some time to share what our house, our nana's, our cousin's house etc. is filled with on Thanksgiving. We talked about our traditions and brainstormed what we love most about celebrating the holiday in these homes. Then, the students wrote responses to go along with a Thanksgiving house they made. In each window, we drew something that happens inside the house during Thanksgiving in each of the paper windows. We added a roof and chimney, then attached our writing to a little puff of smoke coming out of the chimney. They came out so cute!

Thank you to Mrs. Campbell (and Mrs. Egan from Mrs. Morgan's room too) for hanging the houses made by both classes! They look great thanks to you!

Exciting things are happening!

Two pieces of great news!! 

First, permission slips for a last minute school field trip to see the NMES float in the Thanksgiving parade should have gone home today. I am hoping the substitute sent them home for everyone! First grade will be going in the morning on Wednesday around 9:30. Please send back the slip tomorrow morning if you would like your child to attend. Thank you!

Also, our school will be featured on Channel 5 tomorrow morning at 6:00 for the "eye opener" shout out! The kids went into the gym today and waved to the cameras in the shape of a 100 (to celebrate our 100th birthday).  If you are awake, be sure to watch it! I'm going to DVR it so I can pause and rewind many times. :) 

I will be back tomorrow!

Hi families,

As your first grader probably shared with you, I was out of school both Friday and today. I will be back tomorrow though! If you sent any notes in either day that need to be addressed, I will be sure to read them and contact you tomorrow. Also, if your child turned in their reading log late and did not get it back, I will make sure it goes home tomorrow. I can provide extra time if needed to complete this week's assignment. Thanks for your patience! I'm looking forward to being back with the kids tomorrow. :)

Family Day!

Thank you to all the parents and families that came today to spend time in our classroom. We loved having you in and sharing our Writer's Workshop stories, playing math games, and reading with you. Many kids told me that today was awesome. One suggested I invite parents to come to school every day! ;)

 I'm posting below a bunch of the pictures I took- I just feel so lucky to have such wonderful families. Thanks again for being so supportive!

American Education Week

I have chosen this Thursday, November 14th to have parents visit the classroom from 12:00-1:00. A pink note went home from Mr. Spencer a few weeks ago with information, but I will also send home a notice tomorrow to remind families too. This is an informal opportunity for you to come in to see our classroom and for the students to show you what they have been working on. I hope you can make it!

Veterans Video- Thank You Mrs. Winsper!

Mrs. Winsper, our AMAZING computer teacher, took time before school yesterday to take pictures of our soldiers and put them into a video slideshow with music and everything. She is so awesome and we are lucky to have her! I just had to share the video with you to watch. Enjoy and please show your first grader too!
