Giving Thanks!

The class recently created a "quilt" which is on the bulletin board outside the room. Students wrote and drew a few things they were thankful for. Using Wordle, students then created a word cloud of things they were thankful for this season. Many of you saw the work during conferences, but please feel free to take a quick peek at the board - especially if you'll be in the building for the Turkey Trot.

I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! Share your Thanksgiving stories or customs under comments.

Conferences!

Conferences are coming up - November 18 - 20. Remember that dismissal time will be at 1pm on each of those three days.

Conferences will be 15 minutes and we will discuss the conference record which you will receive on Friday, November 14. Be ready with any question(s) that you may have! Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Thanks to Mrs. Martinsky for the picture of the Data Team!!

Our 44th President of the United States is.........

Wordle is a site that will make word clouds like the one shown using Barack Obama’s acceptance speech. You can type or paste words into a box and the program will do the rest.

On Monday, November 3, 2008, students in all three elementary schools were asked to vote for who they would choose as President of the US. The final numbers are as follows:


Barak Obama - 52.41% of the vote or 315 votes
John McCain - 45.42% of the vote or 273 votes
Ralph Nader - 2.16% of the vote or 13 votes

Don't forget to get out and vote!!

Halloween

FYI - On Friday, October 31, we will be celebrating Halloween with our annual class party and school parade. Our class party will be from 1:45 - 2:30 and the parade will start at 2:30. Weather permitting, we will be parading around the outside of the school. Parents are welcome to come and stand outside to watch the children as they parade. Unfortunately, I can not invite you to the class party due to restrictions with regards to the number of people in the building.

After the parade, parents will be allowed to pick-up their child from the classroom.

Picture Day

Hi Everyone!

Going home today is the order form for School Pictures. Our class pictures will be on Wednesday, October 22. Mark your calendars!!

Back in time......

We just traveled back in time and I am glad to be back in 2008! Thanks to Mrs. Zorenna and to our two chaperones! Ask your child how it went, what they learned and have them vote as to what they thought of the trip.
