Special Guest

       
      On Monday  Danielle, a high school junior, stayed with us for the day as part of a job "shadowing" program.  Teaching is ABSOLUTELY her calling.  She is a total natural.  The kids took to her immediately and we had a great day.  I think staying for the whole day is perfect.  She really got a chance to see what a school day is like.  She said she liked it.  I sure hope we didn't scare her away (hee hee hee).

     The dioramas are coming in and boy are they great.  I'll start posting some pictures soon.  We have started taking the information from the homework sheet and turning it into paragraphs.  It's going SMOOTHLY.  WHOO HOO.  Next week we will be ready to present our projects to the class.

     Our first field trip is coming up.  We will be attending a theater performance at Chelmsford High School the first week of March.  Both the kindergartners and first graders will be joining us.  A notice will be coming home very shortly with all the facts.

     I think we have the hang of telling time.  Keep on practicing.  Money will be sneaking up on us.  Make sure your child already knows the names and amounts of each coin.  It will make their math lives much easier.

     Tomorrow is Walking Wednesday.  I forgot to remind everyone.  I hope we win that trophy back.

REMINDER:  Gym Wednesday, Parent/Teacher conferences Thursday,  Xtramath 4 times a week
