Spelling Bee

Congratulations to Holly, Mikenlee, Que'Lani, and Garrett for being chosen to represent our class in the school spelling bee today! 

Our First Christmas Card!

Our class is participating in a Christmas card exchange, and we received our first card today! It was from a 2nd grade class   in Pulaski, Wisconsin. We mailed ours yesterday, 27 are going to other states in the U.S.A. and two are going to other countries! Hopefully we will get all 29 of our cards before we are out for the holidays! 

Our elf made himself comfortable last night! This morning he was found reading  a book, all covered up, and eating a Snickers!!! I think he found my snack basket behind my desk! ;-) 

Morning Surprise!

Looks like our class elf, Jingle Bells, is back! 

Santa's Village and Elf University

What a fun day!! We all became official elves after attending a morning full of classes at Elf University. We then visited Santa's Village, where we had story time with Mrs. Claus, snacks, cookie making class, craft time, and even a little dancing! Thanks so much to all the parents who attended! Here are some pictures from our fun day! 

Reading our hearts out!

Field Trip and Important Reminder

We have a field trip planned for Monday, November 25. Third Grade will be going to Huntsville to visit Santa's Village and attend Elf University for the day. Please see your child's folder today for more information! Money and permission slips are due Wednesday, November 13 by 8:00 a.m.

Also, please remember to send a scarf, toboggan, and mittens/gloves to school with your child this Thursday! We are doing a class picture and video for our Christmas card project. 

Food Drive and Coin Wars Week

This week we have several things going on to help our community and school. We are having our annual Beta Club canned food drive this week. Students earn a homework pass for every 5 cans they bring to school. This is a great way to teach students about helping others and getting the night off from homework at the same time! We are also doing coin wars, which earns money for books for our classroom libraries. Thanks for your help with all of this! Also remember to send in box tops. You can send these in at any time! They can be in a zip lock bag, envelope, etc. They do not have to be glued to the sheet we send home.
