Ms. Kuzmack, our student teacher was in today and will be every Friday until April.  In April, she will be with us daily for 4 weeks.  Today, we learned a new "Doubles" song in math.  We had our spelling tests and there were many students with 100%!  New words for next week are posted on the sidebar, however; the grade one students will not have another test for 2 weeks.  This afternoon, we continued working on our community project. We should have our community completed and displayed in the library by Tuesday, January 22nd.

Another indoor recess today!  Hopefully we will get outside for at least one recess tomorrow.  Grade one and two students have a spelling test tomorrow. Spelling words will be posted on this blog and updated each week.  Next week, we will be visiting our senior buddies at EGL. We will be making snow icecream, playing bingo and making a craft. If you are interested in helping out, please meet us at EGL at 1:30 pm. Extra helping hands are always appreciated.

Decorating gingerbread people.

918 Cookies in all.  $850.00 raised for our village in Kenya!

Our 1/2 multi-age students are kind and caring.  We felt so good to
raise money and help other children in need.  Way to go students!





Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a fun-filled, healthy holiday with family and friends.  Our first week back has been a busy one in Room 191.  Students have learned about different ways that people celebrate ringing in the New Year.  They have written individual resolutions on something that they want to learn or do differently in 2013. Students have also started designing and building a "community", including important places and community workers.  This project will complete the Social Studies unit that Miss Kuzmack, our student teacher had taught in Nov./Dec.
