January Thaw

Can you believe we were out on the playground without jackets today? What is up with this crazy weather!

Reminders

Just a quick reminder. If you have not returned your student's permission slip for our field trip this Thursday, please do so as soon as possible. Everyone is required to wear boots. Even if it is not snowy or icy it will probably be muddy. Goodness knows I have no idea what the temperature will be by Thursday. 
Also, the Super Dad's Breakfast is Friday. If you have not made a reservation yet I think you may still do so by calling the office. (720-2440)

Happy 100th Day of School

We had lots of fun activities today. We drew self portraits 93 years into the future. We wrote about our favorite activities of the last 100 days. We wrote about what we would do with $100. We even did 100 exercises!!

Field Trip

I just found out our date for the next field trip. This is a science field trip about plants and natural resources. We will be visiting Rockwoods Reservation for their annual Maple Sugar Festival. The field trip is one and one half hours long, and ALL outdoors. Please read the permission slip I am sending home today, and return it with two dollars as soon as possible. Our trip is planned for next Thursday, Jan. 31.

The Crayon Box That Talked

We watched a short video about a crayon box. All the crayons could talk, but none of the colors could get along. Ask your student what they learned. afterward we each made a crayon for our box with each different face on it's own color of crayon.

Snowman Fun!!

We all used marshmallows and white paint to stamp our snow person. Tomorrow we will add faces and accessories. Did you notice the black paper? What do you think your snowman does at night after you're asleep?

Spelling bee

Today was the spelling bee. We are all very proud of Ryan for making it into the school spelling bee!

Happy 2013

I am sorry I have not blogged in a while. I had a wonderful Christmas vacation with my family. I want to thank you all for the Christmas gifts. I am always amazed at how thoughtful and giving Kennerly parents are. I hope you had a fantastic break as well. 
We were all sad to lose one of our classmates. Aidin's family closed on a new house and moved over the winter break. We miss him very much, but he promised to come back and visit us soon. 
On a much brighter note, we gained a new classmate yesterday. His name is Maximiliano, but he said we could call him Max. Max has been living with his family in Argentina for the last two years. We are super happy to have him and excited about what he can teach us!
Please look for your child's report card to be coming home on Friday. If you have any questions or concerns just give me a call or email and I will be happy to answer them.
If your child would like to participate in the district science fair, it's called PRISM. The information has already gone home about it, but if you missed it you can go to the district website and check the "virtual backpack" for all the information and forms.
The all school spelling bee is scheduled for Jan. 18th at 9:00a.m. Our representative will be Ryan. If he is unable to participate for some reason, Ruthie will take his place.
The Kids Who Care collection is going on until the 18th. Please send your canned goods and other nonparishables for needy families in our area. Thank You!
One last reminder: There is no school on January 21st due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
