A Season for Giving

As we prepare to enter the Holiday Season this December, I realized something while purchasing some toys to bring to the Devils Game with me on Friday for their Annual Toys for Tots Drive. If we all give a little a small amount what we can afford we can help a lot of people. I really am not one to ask for others help but if all my friends could help out my students by giving a little bit you really can make a difference. Please help fund this project for my students it would really mean a lot to me. You can enter any amount you want remember every little bit helps.

K-4 Family Turkeys Project

Walking down the hall I noticed a great project that K-4 had done to kick off their unit about families. I wanted to share it with those of you who might not get a chance to make it over to see it before it disappears.
The students and their familes really did a great job decorating their turkeys!

Here is the description of the project posted on the board.

"The boys and girls in K-4 each took home a turkey and decorated it with their whole family. It was a great way to kick off our unit about families!"

In Loving Memory of Tamia Metz

I was ready to start off the November Blog Posts and had to take some time to think about how to convey such sad news. On October 31, 2009 a life was taken from us far too soon. I had the pleasure of teaching Tamia for a little over 2 years and she was a pleasure to have in class and her smile could light up a room. She will be missed deeply but will always remain in my heart.


I wanted to share the program from her Memorial Service with those who were either unable to attend the service or just want a copy as a remembrance.
