October 9, 2008

Word of the day: gratitude

Thanks to everyone who sent veggies for our stone soup. It was a big hit! We had quite a few entertaining story tellers at lunch to go along with the good food...


Please remember as well to send some CLEAN turkey bones for our art project next week, if you can. Thanks.

We've begun a new "Mathematical Heavyweights" challenge in math to help the class memorize math facts. Once the students have correctly completed their timed facts tests, they choose a persona and get their name on a barbell. So far, the following students have qualified for barbell status:

Arm Breaker Brit
Bone Crusher George
Flamin' No Pain Liam
Bear Wrestler Bianca
Muscle Man Emmanuel
Six Pack Alex
Jessie the Beater

Tune in for more additions to our list of heavyweights!

Please remember that the students have a 4 day weekend. Friday and next Monday are both holidays for the students. Enjoy your family time!
