Sad News

The last day of school before vacation we received sad news, we were losing two of our friends to other schools. We hated to say goodbye to Canyon and McKynzie..we will miss you and we wish you luck in your new classes.

Winter Holidays

We have been studying winter holidays to include, Hannakah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. We have been very busy making crafts each day. Mrs. Shafer promises that she will post new pictures tomorrow. One thing that we have learned is that all holidays have candles in their celebrations. We thought that was very interesting.

Turkeys on Parade

Today was turkey day. The children had a homework assignment: To decorate and disguise their turkey so we couldn't find it to eat! The second set of turkeys were maade from each child's footprint, and the third was the tasty kind made of candy.
Cayla's mom also brought a cake for us to celebrate the holidays with.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Today was a very busy day. We began the day with Ronald McDonald and his magic Reading show and continued with our "Bring a special person to lunch". We have several people visit. McKynzies's Mom and Dad, Makayla's Grandmother, Ryan's Mom and baby sister, and Canyon's Aunt and Michael stayed for lunch. The lunchroom was really crowded.

Learning new songs

Today we are making turkeys out of our footprints.  It was messy!  Paint everywhere.  We are learning new Thanksgiving songs.  We hope you like this one.

Children's Book Week

This week we are celebrating National Children's Book Week.  Our Theme is "Where the Wild Things Are."  Each class illustrated a page from the book.  Check out some of the pages.

This is our class picture.

Today was also Get Lost in a Good Book Day.  Students were to wear camouflage to school.

Mrs. Shafer was absent

Thursday I had to leave school early and I was out Friday because my own child was ill.  I missed everyone because I could not be there.

Veterans Day

Yesterday we had no school in honor of veterans everywhere. We are in a military town so we are very aware of our military families. Thank you for serving our country. We are proud of you!

Churn, churn, the ice cream!

A few weeks ago we had Mr. and Mrs. Crowther help us make ice cream for the letter "i". We found out that it took a lot of work to make milk and cream turn into the tasty desert.

What is a blog?

A blog allows a teacher to summarize what’s going on in the classroom and share it with parents that have Internet access.

Blogs can be used as a platform for highlighting the best work of students, showcasing their talent to an audience that goes beyond the classroom.
