Here is a photo of the kids with their 100th day glasses and crowns on. Thank you, Alex's mom for allowing us to borrow her class 100th day glasses. The class loved them!!! :)

Hip Hip Hooray! It's the 100th Day!!

Finally, tomorrow is the 100th day of school.  We will be doing some fun activities related to the 100th day. Miss Waskow has some neat things planned. :)

Valentine's Day is Friday. If we have school we'll pass out Valentine cards and have a little treat.  Please check with one of the room mothers to see if you signed up to bring something in. The class list is coming home today. If your child forgets to bring one home please email me. 

If we're not in school on Friday, we'll move our Valentine celebration to Monday.  Thank you so much for all your understanding with this crazy weather!!!
Reading and Spelling tests will be moved as many days as we miss. ie- miss 1 day- Test on Monday, Miss 2 days- Test on Tuesday.

I'm in the process of rescheduling some of the Parent / Teacher conferences for March 13 &14. Once I have all families rescheduled, I'll send home reminder slips for everyone.  Thank you for your flexibility.

Please let me know if you have any questions and as always, thank you for your support.

Question for Students

What is your favorite thing to do on a Snow Day?  Please answer and describe, then comment on another students post.

Okay, so it's definitely been a broken up week.  We see evidence of this with the students attention spans.  We will move our Reading and Spelling tests to Monday, February 10th.  We'll continue with math and writing this week but everything is pushed backed a few days.
All students have spelling lists that they're bringing home tonight.  Sorry about the delay.  If ever you don't have the lists, they are all listed on Spelling City under Ozimok.  You can always find them there.
Hopefully we won't have anymore surprising weather that takes us out of school.
 ( wishful thinking???)

Please let me know if you need to reschedule your March Parent/ Teacher conference. 
Thank you so much.

This weather is something!!!

Wow!!! This weather is really something!  We have begun Unit 4 week 1 in reading today.  We will try to stay on target depending on how the weather cooperates.  Please be aware that we may not have our reading and spelling tests on Friday because of the delays, snow days, etc... We will try to have our test within a 4 or 5 day school week whether it is all in the same week or not.  It looks like we may not be in school tomorrow therefore, we would have our reading and spelling tests next Monday or Tuesday. I hope that makes sense.

Also, please, please, please make sure your child is getting onto Reflex math at home to practice his/ her math fluency.  This is especially important with how the weather is affecting school because we don't have as many opportunities to practice in school. 

As always, thanks so much for all your continued support!  I'm going to be posting another question for students to respond to either tonight or tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day and be careful out there on the roads.

Questions for students

So the kids asked if I would post questions for them and I agreed.  Please have your child comment to the following questions.


1. Did the groundhog see his shadow?  What does that mean for winter?


2. Who do you predict will win the Super Bowl tonight?  The Denver Broncos or The Seattle Seahawks?  Why do you think that team will win?

Okay kids, I can't wait to see all of your responses!  Enjoy your Sunday and I'll see you tomorrow! :)

Happy Groundhog's Day!

In celebration of Groundhog's Day on February 2nd, Mrs. McMullen, Lydia's mom,  brought in a special treat for the class today. It was delicious!  Thanks Mrs. McMullen and Lydia.
Here are some pics of the class enjoying this special treat.
