By Request

I have made a concerted effort not to bother you with stories or pictures of my adorable nephew anymore, because I realize that not every thinks he is as great as I do (although you would if you knew him!) But then today, I was asked about him and was told that some would like to see updates. So, I promise not to inundate the blog with photos of Kaleb, but here is my latest favorite photo! As a proud Auntie I have to point out that he is apparently having a lot of fun riding a toy I gave him hugging a doll from me.
Other than the double chin, do you see any resemblance? Me neither! But he is sure one cute kid!!

Happy Spring Break

Now that you have had a weekend to get used to not having school, I am going to give you the opportunity to practice your TCAP test taking skills. If you follow THIS LINK to our class wiki page, you will find a TCAP practice test. I was going to send it home with everyone on Thursday, but did not have the chance to get it copied. So, for those of you who want the extra practice, here you go. For those of you who don't, please at the very least be sure you are reading!

See you in a week!

Our Class' Theme Song

I think this speaks for itself!! Enjoy. . .

Our Newest Moves

Today was an exciting day for many in our class! The Paideia philosophy believes in teaching the whole child, and today we did just that. Not only did we study grammar, reading, area, and perimeter. Today, the class was introduced to a new dance! A BIG thanks to Ms. E. for coming in to teach our group some new moves! I hope you enjoy these clips. . .

In Like a Lion

The snow was beautiful this morning even if it came a day early! Oh well. This week is a big one for us. Please take note of the events of the week:

1. Monday is Read Me Day--Dr. Seuss' birthday At 8:20 we will listen to Green Eggs and Ham as part of the world's largest classroom.
2. Monday--A note will be coming home regarding a possible upcoming Looper event. I need your input about whether or not you are interested in having your child participate. Possibly you can help us make a needed connection regarding this activity, so please read through that note and send it back in ASAP.
3. Tuesday--Students will take the third and final ThinkLink test of the year. Have a good breakfast and come ready to do your best!
4. Tuesday--Permission slips and money are due for the Spanish field trip.
5. Tuesday--Class photographs are taken. Parents and students decided that we will all wear red for the picture.

As things come up, I'll be sure to add them here, so check back later in the week!
