A Time For Giving!

We had an amazing ROCK rally this week! We gave tons of toys to families that have parents that will not be home for Christmas, because they are serving overseas. We were even in the newspaper for being such wonderful givers!
In Music we are working on getting our belts, as we learn the music to play on our recorders. Please help us to remember to practice at home so we can all receive our BLACK belts.

REMINDER! - PLEASE remember to bring your gift for the gift exchange!!!!!!! Please make sure it is wrapped :)

Welcome!

This is my first year to do a blog with my homeroom class. I am very excited as are the students to be able to share with you all that we are doing in our classes. My hopes for this blog is for parents, family, and friends to have a better understanding about what we are doing on a weekly basis. Every Friday someone from our class will report what has been going on that week. We will also put up reminders of upcoming events and important dates. If you have any other suggestions please let us know. Thank you and have a happy school year!!
