Happy Holidays!




I hope that everyone is enjoying the start of their holidays! I'd love to get some posts on the fun things you've done or the cool gifts you've got. So far, besides all of the great gifts I got at school, I've got some great gift cards! I'm looking forward to buying myself some new books to read.

I want to thank you all for a great 2007 school year. I could not have asked for a better class! I'm really looking forward to 2008 and all of the great experiences we have ahead of us. Also, parents, thank you for all of your support. Also, thanks to all of you who make the blog worth doing. I've really enjoyed it, and I know many of you do, too.



I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season!

Long Time, No Blog

I apologize for the lengthy absence of new blog material. As things got busy around here, I found that I had a lot less time to do the blogging. I sure did miss it!

As you know, we've taken two field trips since my last post. Both went very well, and I think the students learned information that they will always remember. In my science class, we have talked a lot about what we learned at the planetarium. I've been pleased with how much the students remembered from our trip!

While in Chicago last week, it was fun to hear the students shout out the different shapes as they walked by. Most students were so excited about their task that they took many pictures in the train station. We hadn't even made it to the fun stuff yet! I can't wait until we put together our geometry presentations.

The holiday party is this week. Thursday, to be exact. PTO will be providing snacks and drinks, so please do not send anything.

I think that pretty well takes us up to date.
