I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday with family and friends! All of my family was in town over Winter break. It was finally nice to have everyone together. Unfortunately, I ended up getting really sick the Saturday to begin our break and didn't get better until the next Saturday. Just in time to cuddle my new 2 month old niece though! : ) I am feeling so much better and am ready to get back to teaching!!
Last Week's Weekly Update: Christmas Gifts: Did you love them? Hopefully we made something that can be put to good use in your home! I personally think they turned out pretty cute! I also had them tie their own bows and if you noticed they really did a great job! Project Linus: Our class along with all of Westside Elementary got a chance to give back to the community by making tie blankets for Project Linus! One thing that stands out to me with this class is their willingness to help and want to give back. It was so nice to see them eager to make the blankets. Holiday Celebration: Pajamas, Hot Chocolate, Snacks, and the Polar Express.... what more could you ask for? Last Friday was our big Polar Express Celebration. I wanted to surprise the students and hopefully make it something they would remember. Take a look into our day! We enjoyed flashlight reading the story, and walking down the tracks of the polar express, while ending the day laying on the floor enjoying the movie with some treats and hot chocolate! It is so fun to reward the students for all their hard work they did with the book prior to watching the movie! Reminder: Please make sure your child is reading at least 20 minutes every night. I can't stress enough how important this is. This is part of their homework everynight and does not change. It should be recorded on their Fargo Force Reading Calendars in order to meet the end of 3rd grade reading requirements. I have recieved a lot of calendars back with no reading minutes on them. I understand stuff comes up if you are too busy one night or if you are sick but please write the reason on the calendar and try to have your student make up for the loss time on the weekends! Thanks so much for all you do to support your child and their education. I couldn't do it without you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
