8 Days till Christmas!

Seven people from our class attended the Dairy Queen fundraiser.
We also made ornaments in our class... MOST of them turned out beautifully! We will be bringing them home to add to our trees.
We still have a few gifts missing from under our tree, but most are here. We are very excited to open our presents :)
We were able to attend the Kindergarten program on Thursday...they did an awesome job!
In music we are working on "Old Saint Nick" on our recorders. Please make sure to ask me to practice!!! We really want our BLACK belts.
In art we have been finishing our Christmas pictures to bring home to help our houses look festive.
Our multiplication scores are in...ask me how I did!
We cannot wait for Christmas break!!!!!

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 :)
