Wk of 12/16

Today we had a wonderful time celebrating and getting ready for the holidays.  We enjoyed a Muppet Christmas movie, played the annual teacher vs. student 5th grade basketball game, and had our winter party.  Everyone had a blast!

I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the families that sent treats in for our party.  We had so much wonderful stuff!  Also, thank you to all of the parents that volunteered during the party!  We couldn’t have done it without your help.  Lastly, I really want to thank the Silcox family for our holiday craft activity.  They planned the whole thing and even provided individual kits for the students to create their special keepsake! The students and I really appreciate everyone and I know that you all made wonderful memories for the children.  I hope that you enjoy the photos below.

I wish everyone a very happy holidays, and I will see you in the New Year!
