Thanks so much...

I just want to send out a special thanks to Dena Fornwald, Cheyenne Walton, Steven Lundak, Renee Thorson, and Michelle Hanson for helping out with the Holiday Party on Tuesday, December 21st.  The party was a huge success.  Students made ornaments with their pictures in it, decorated/iced snowman cookies, played snowman letter sound Bingo, made number writing books, played pin the carrot nose on the snowman, colored, and more.  I hope everyone has a wonderful winter break.  I will see everyone back at school on January 3rd, 2011.

Headphones anyone?

We are in need of headphones for our iPods.  If you have a pair of headphones at home that you are not using and would be willing to sendn them to school for students to use we would really appreciate it.  Please do not send the headphones that you put in your ear.  We only want the headphones that go over your ear.  Thanks so much!
