Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great three-day weekend!

I was here at school on Friday, but one very exciting thing did come out of it...Our Crew got two more iPads for use in our classroom! So now, we have three iPads that students are using during literacy centers! The kids are SO excited to be using this new technology! And I am SO excited that they are so engaged in meaningful literacy activities during center time. I will constantly be looking for new ways to use the iPads also, so if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear about them.

We are climbing this week in PE. Thank you to all of you who have volunteered to belay for us. We couldn't do it without you. Check back next week for some pictures of your children climbing.

A note about snow gear...Students WILL be going outside if the temperature is warm enough. The expectation is that students have appropriate snow gear. If you have any questions, please let me know.

A HUGE thank you to all of you who have volunteered to help us in the classroom! I can't thank you enough for donating your time. Our classroom runs so much smoother with extra hands to help out. Please let myself or Chevy know if you would like to volunteer. I still have many times I could use some help.

We are beginning our second Case Study for our Expedition this week. I will send more information later, but for now, please plan on having your child attend the 76th Annual Starlighting ceremony on Saturday, November 19th. Our Crew will be participating in this event, as we do every year. Stay tuned for more information.
