PJ Pattern Party was a success!! Our grade 3 buddies joined us in the morning to make pattern necklaces with Fruit Loops and string licorice. Then they helped us play alphabet BINGO. The afternoon saw skating, Pattern Party Popcorn and center time. We are currently working on letter Uu. Miss U has an umbrella! It would be great if you could point out words around your house that start with the letter U! Report cards went home with your kids today. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Have a great weekend!

Today was a good one! I got to teach today as Mrs. McMahon is still out with a back injury. Mrs. Sveahun and I had a great day with the kids. We were able to spend some time in the computer room with the Grade 3 kids and while half of us were doing that the other half did a winter craft. The afternoon was spent playing soccer and trying to set a world record. The entire elementary was spit up into 5 groups. Each group had to read 5 Robert Munsch books in the same order in 30 minutes. We had some fabulous guest readers who would have done Robert Munsch proud. I hope everyone has a great weekend and we'll be back on Monday.

Hello! Today was a great day in Kindergarten. We finished up our printing of the Letter Ii. The rest of the morning was consumed by a science experiment about icebergs. We froze water balloons on Monday and then peeled off the plastic. We put our "icebergs" in an aquarium to see how much of the ice was on top of the water and how much was below. The kids all predicted that the ice would sink but much to their amazement, it floated.

Happy New Year!! I hope everyone's holiday was great and that Santa was good to you all. January looks to be a busy month. Lots to learn and it sounds like we will be skating once a week. In school today we reviewed the letters we had learned up until now and introduced letter Ii. Miss I has itchy skin because she has chicken pox. We talked about New Year's, made 2009 hats and counted down to the new year. The afternoon saw us at library and then reflecting on the best part of 2008. All of the kids have school on Friday with Mrs. McMahon and our newsletter and calendar will go home on Monday.
