Cheers to a New Year!

elp3617-student-of-the-month-award-pin-shooting-star-000Congratulations to Students-of-the-Month for September, Abigail F. and Sophie Q., both of whom set a high standard in our class. Kudos to Students-of-the-Month for October, Haylee B.–who established a tough goal of winning the Mini Marathon and then went out and conquered it, and Courtney W., who has survived being “the new kid” with a smile and a great attitude. Congrats also to Students-of-the-Month for November/December Vane’ B., who daily brings grace and joy to my life, and Jaden R., whose hard work and resilience has brought about tremendous growth. We’re impressed by and proud of each of you! Also, welcome back, Peyton!

Thank you to all of you who sent in gifts, cards, and kind sentiments for the holiday. Your kindness and support is important to me!  Thanks, too, to everyone who sent in treats for the holiday party. We had an abundance.

Students transition to new language arts groups and new math groups this week. In math the kids will be studying fractions–which are easy if one knows one’s math facts, but difficult otherwise. Upcoming big events: ScienceWorks field trip on Jan. 19th, Jo County Tree Plant on Feb. 4th, and an Adopt-a-Street Clean-up (Date TBA). We need chaperones for all of these.
