Week of Giving

I am so thankful for the wonderful class I have this year! These students make it worth it each and every day! Our week of giving was a complete success. I am so proud of each student. They have shown so much maturity, leadership, and kindness this week. Thank you to everyone who made it a success! 

The Socks of Love we created for the homeless made it to the Homeless Vigil in downtown Bowling Green this weekend. I can't wait to tell the kids when we get back!

I will be delivering the donations for our Christmas Angel tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for your help! It makes my heart happy to see seven and eight year olds giving back to others. 

Website Updates and Upcoming Events

Website Updates

I have finally found the time to work on our classroom blog! Whoahh!
There are now separate pages for reading and math websites. I have added some additional math sites that I think are wonderful! Your student should have logins for Sumdog, Dreambox, and Lexia. The other websites will not require a login.

Our daily schedule is now posted under "Daily Schedule."

Last, there is a page to find your students homework, spelling words, and spelling tic-tac-toe sheet. I understand that homework (especially spelling words) get left at school quite often, so I want to make  sure you have easy access to them when that happens. I'm sorry I am just now coming up with this solution...in December.
