Here's the homework for each day

That's the Way the Volleyball Bounces

Our annual Staff vs. Students volleyball game was a very competitive matchup that left this teacher in particular feeling bruised and exhausted. While the final score was separated but about a hundred points, the games all felt much closer than that! The kids put up a great effort and should be proud, and tired, tonight!

We also joined Ms. McBride's kids outside today for an impromptu excursion for some fresh air and sunshine. The kids had indoor recess, but the weather seemed to have warmed up enough to have some fun outdoors! 

Just a reminder that tomorow is our Class Celebration and Yankee Swap. I've asked the kids to all add a note in their agendas to not forget anything that they're planning ot bring in with them tomorrow. It should be a nice, relaxing day capped off with the, always amazing, school sing-along in the afternoon. The teachers have something fun planned and can't wait to show it off to the kids!

Have a great afternoon, folks!

Ye Olde Yankee Swap is coming

12/20/2016

Our class will be participating in this fun activity together on ...
Friday, December 23rd
How to prepare for this activity:
  • Students will need to bring in a wrapped gift to place into the gift pot. The more creative the wrap, the greater the surprise!
  • The gift should only be within the price range of $5.00 - $10.00
  • Since the receiver could be either a boy or girl, the gift should be appropriate for both.
  • We also ask that the gifts not be associated with any religious holiday; Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, etc.
  • A winter theme would be OK.
As a class we talked about some good ideas for gifts. Here a sampling of that discussion:
  • Gift Cards to fast food restaurants, iTunes, etc.
  • King Size Candy Bar
  • Popular Book
  • Cool School items: note-its, pens, journals, paper
  • Book Sock
  • Art Supplies
The Christmas Tree Shop at the Nashua Mall has many great gift ideas within this price range as well as Five Below and the Dollar Store.
Gifts we would like to stay away from:
  • Christmas or any Holiday items
  • Candles
  • Food with nuts (allergies), chewy & popcorn (braces)
  • Fragrant sprays or perfumes
  • Cash and scratch tickets
