Into the New Year

What a great start to our new year! We have finished up benchmark assessing and midterms will come home by the end of January with current grades and those results. We have lots to celebrate.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their holiday gift. We had such a fun time making them and got to bring out our inner creative side. I am so impressed with how cute they were.

During our holiday party we finished wrapping our gifts and then watched The Polar Express in our pjs with Mrs. Jenson's room. We got to enjoy our yummy snacks (thanks again to those who sent in items) and hot chocolate. We had a large train, an entrance to the North Pole and even train tracks leading to all our classrooms. Unfortunately, the train tracks didn't last too long with wet boots, but it was worth it to see the kids' faces in the morning light up with excitement.

 

Hopefully everything will slow down a little bit and I will get back to my regular posts. The kids are super excited because our classroom got a holiday present too, an iPad mini. Once they go through iPad training, they will be ready to get their hands on it. Keep an eye out for a post soon on Tweeting from our classroom. I can't wait.

Hopefully we will see a few more iPads in our classroom before the year is over. I have been writing some grants lately. :-) The kids are super excited!
