Dear Parents, Happy Thursday! It is hard to believe January is almost over! We have not had one single snow day this year and last year we had had 7 by now. Where is my snow! I am hoping February does not disappoint me and brings me a good snowstorm. Yes, I am in charge of snow blowing and cleaning up my snow. Sometimes I have a friend who pops over and digs out my driveway if they have time. Last year I tackled a 3 ft. snow drift with my little snow blower. It took

Dear Parents, Happy New Year! Here we are again ready for the last half of the year. We have returned from a long much needed break and dove right back into our routine. Not sure they were ready for it but that is what we did. We have lots to accomplish before the end of the year. We have 3 weeks of hard work before Catholic Schools week is upon us. That will be a busy week with lots of extra activities for us to participate in. Language Arts We started a new story th

Dear Parents, Happy Thursday! Here we are, it's Thursday AGAIN. They come so quickly for me. It is definitely a busy time of year. I am almost done with my shopping. I get closer and closer all the time. I can tell Christmas is getting closer, because so is the excitement. We are working hard to still learn lots here at school. I pray next week is as good as this week has been. Language Arts We have started a new story today. They took a spelling pretest and read a

Dear Parents, Happy Thursday!! What a great concert last night. My favorite song was "No School Tomorrow" and the song the middle schoolers sang that was about the reindeer being on the roof. Those were fun ones for sure. The best part for me is when the kids are all on stage and sang "He is the Gift" what a beautiful song with so much meaning. Of course Silent Night is also a "get you in the feels" one too. We only have 11 days of school left before break. It will b

Dear Parents, Happy Thursday! I won't get to say this next week as we will all be celebrating Thanksgiving that day. It has gotten here very quickly. My daughter comes home from college tomorrow to stay for a week and I am very excited to have her home. She might cramp my reading time for a while but that's okay with me. Language Arts We finished up Module 2 week 3 yesterday. They finished with a spelling post test which is in their folders today. Now, today we bega

Dear Parents, Happy Thursday! Here we are again. We only have 8 days left of school before Thanksgiving Break. That is not very much. I told you for a teacher this time flies. After all the holidays then we are thrown into the winter months. These months are my favorite. I know I am crazy but they are my favorite ones. I am a snow person, I always have been. I grew up playing in the snow. The temperature didn't matter and they didn't scare us with the wind chill ba

Dear Parents, Happy Thursday! Thank you all for coming to conferences. I enjoyed talking to each of you. I am glad that you all got a chance to see ALL the things we are doing in school on a daily basis. Maybe some days there is not a ton of homework but we have definitely covered a lot in class. I told the kids what I had showed you and how some of you were overwhelmed by the things they were learning. I also told the kids the break was perfect for me but not so much fo
