100 Cans for a Hundred Days

Day 97 is under our belt!  The 100th day of school will be on Wednesday.  The Kindergarten Team is collecting cans of food for the hundredth day, to benefit a local charity.  So far, we have........ZERO cans!  Please, won't you go through your pantry this weekend and pull out those cans that are just sitting there, not being eaten, and donate them to this cause?  We will be putting the cans on giant 10 frames and doing some math with the cans next week.  Your donations will be greatly appreciated!

Testing Update

Well, the testing is almost over except for the couple students who were absent!  Thanks, Amy Brandes, for watching the class today during recess so I could complete the listening comprehension portion!

Please remember that Monday is a holiday, so no school! 

Also, I sent home two different Home Learning packets.  On one of them, I had corrected the dates on it, but on the other, I forgot.  The reading unit 5 will not begin until Tuesday.  It was decided that with New Year's and Martin Luther King activities, to hold off until next week.  So please work on the other activities, but the ones that require either the reader, please wait until next week.  Better yet, use any other book your child has at home.  In fact, I only have six copies of the on-grade-level reader, so I won't be able to send it home to everyone at the same time.  I will be sending home other readers to the students whose parents indicated they wanted to participate in that take-home program.  

Christmas Book...after the fact

In doing some searches tonight for ways to use my new present from my class - the MimeoPad - I came across this website with a trailer for a Christmas book.  It's not really too late to watch if you celebrate the Christmas season until January 6th - Three Kings Day - like our family does.
