Our November and December Reading Log


This letter will be sent home on Monday explaining our new reading log.

Teacher Note: If you are a teacher and want to post this letter on your website, I would suggest to save the pdf file off of the scholastic website and then have zamzar (www.zamzar.com) convert the file into a jpeg. Once the file is converted (zamzar will email it to you) then you can upload the new format up on the website like you would upload a picture.

Celery Science



This seems to be science week in our classroom. Today with Mrs. Law we explored how plants absorb water by using the classic celery experiment with food coloring. The students loved it and loved examining the celery pieces with a magnifying glass.

Great News!



I just found out from Mrs. Capwell that my grant was selected to receive funding which means we have Bookflix for another year. I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Mrs. Greene (our class assistant), Mrs. Hardesty (our librarian), Mrs. Carroll (our computer resource teacher), and Mrs. Capwell (our principal) for all of their help.
