An important message about the used book store

IMPORTANT USED BOOKSTORE NOTICE:  

Due to the higher cost of replacing books for our used bookstore, we will be raising the price of a book to 50 cents starting at our next bookstore on Wednesday, March 22.  Since we have not raised our price in close to 15 years, I think we have done well.  It costs $1 for me to replace each book that we sell. As always we love any book donations you would like to send in.  If you are cleaning out unused children's books, please consider donating them to us.  We also take children's magazines.  Just send them to the main office or to my office.  NEW USED BOOKSTORE PRICE IS 50 CENTS a book.

Thank you, Donna Murphy, Reading Specialist.

100th Day of School!

We celebrated our 100th Day of Kindergarten today!!

We made gumball machines with 100 gumballs.

We wrote about what we would like to do by the time we turn 100 years old!

We even made 100th day crowns!

We practiced counting to 100. 

We had a lot of fun today!!

February 17, 2017

For a short week it sure was busy! I hope you’re all enjoying the snow, but I am looking forward to spring.

On Tuesday we saw the second graders perform their Patriotic Concert in honor of President’s day Monday. We also visited the library. It was a lot of fun opening our Valentines Tuesday afternoon!

On Wednesday we met the new hedgehog and Ms. P from the Science Center. It was a lot of fun to meet the hedgehog and learn new information about them.

On Thursday we talked about President’s day and learned why we celebrate President’s day in February. Students were able to make a mask of either Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. We wrote in our journals what we would do if we were President. In the afternoon our 4th grade buddies came down and students shared what they would do if they were president and wrote their ideas down. They are proudly displayed in our hallway.

Today we had a fun Friday! We joined the other grades in the auditorium to watch the movie Brother Bear as a reward for our school wide incentive program. In the afternoon students from room 113 and 114 switched rooms. Students made a crown for our 100th day in room 114 and created different artwork in 113. It was a fun afternoon right before vacation!

President's Day writing with our buddies!

On Thursday our 4th grade buddies came down and we brainstormed what we would do if we were the President in honor of President's Day Monday!

Hedgehog Show!

On Wednesday Ms. P from the Burlington Science Center came into our classroom to show us the new hedgehog. We learned new information about the hedgehog and even got to touch him! 

The hedgehog felt like the top of a hairbrush. 

We practiced rolling in a ball and making noises just like a hedgehog does to warn predators to stay away.  

Valentine's Day!

We had a very busy Valentine's Day here at school! In the morning we got to watch the second graders perform their Patriotic Concert in honor of President's Day next Monday.

Then we made cards for our families and in the afternoon opened up our Valentines! A lot of fun was had by all.
