Updates and Events

Dear Families,

We had a really great day last Friday.  We had Four Winds, chess, and the Fun Run.  The students learned all about worms and what lives in the soil during our Four Winds session.  We also had lesson number three for chess.  We had second and third grade helpers during this time.  Finally, we enjoyed getting outside and participating in the Fun Run in the afternoon.  The students ran, listened to music, and got a yummy popcorn snack.  Please enjoy the many pictures of these events below the updates portion of this blog post. 

I would also like to thank everyone who came out for the pasta dinner last Tuesday.  It was so nice to see all of you.  I ran into many of you at the Book Fair.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for donating so many books to our classroom.  We enjoyed reading many of them last week and have several more to read this week.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
