Holiday Happenings!

We had a great time celebrating the season.  Here are some pictures from our class party and our pajama/pancake day.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your families!

The Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread Man paid us a visit today.  We were beyond excited!

He also sent each of us a letter.  Our buddies were available to read them to us.

Pajamas and Pancakes

On Friday, December 23rd, we will be having a pajama day in our class.  Your child is welcome to wear his/her pajamas to school that day.  If they aren't comfortable wearing pajamas, they can wear 'comfy' clothes!

As part of that day, I will be making pancakes for breakfast.  Your child can either eat breakfast at home or wait until they get to school.

Winter Party

Our Winter Party will be held on Thursday, December 22nd  11;50-12:50.  The following parents signed up to help with the party.  If you are still available, we'd love to have you join us.  If not, I completely understand.  
I have all of the supplies needed!

New Teaching Assistant

We have had a change of staffing in our classroom.   Mrs. Walden is no longer working in our class.  We welcome Mrs. Hoffman as our new teaching assistant.

Buddies

We met with our buddy class for the first time last week.  They are the 3rd graders in Ms. Ruhl's class.  We will meet with them every other Friday and for other special occasions.  We will read with them and do special projects.
During Library today, they came to help us work on the laptops.  We were playing games that teach students how to code.  Your child can play these games from home too!

Go to the Guilderland Elementary Website.  Click on the Library link.

 We played Candy Quest and Bits & Blocks.

Mad Science

We enjoyed a special assembly today!  We learned about the states of matter (solid, liquid and gas).

Twin Day

Student Council has organized a TWIN DAY to kick off their pet drive.  If your child would like to be my twin tomorrow, I will be wearing jeans and a blue shirt.
