First Day 2011-2012
Well, we survived the first day! It is amazing how slow you have to go in the beginning of the year in order to make sure everyone is on the same page. However, once those routines are established, the pace sure does pick up. Even though the first day has a slow motion feel to it, the day does pass quickly. Here's to a great year for everyone!

Ring....Ring...Miss Holt from Australia is calling!
Skyping Australia was a huge hit! Thanks for bringing the kids back to have the chance to interview Miss Holt, the teacher of our Australian pen pals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to talk directly to the children as planned, but I feel our kiddos learned a lot of great information. After Alexis asked about the ingredients of Pavlova, I asked if there were any parents in the room who wanted to make us some. Thanks to Parker's mom, Kelli, the kids did get to try Pavlova. I think it is safe to say that they all have a sweet tooth and it is very different to the treats most kids eat! By the end of the year, I also plan on bringing in Vegemite and Nutella, which Australian kids eat regularly. Monday, March 28, 2011
G'day Mates!
On April 7th, we will have the chance to Skype with our Australian pen pals! I would like as many of the students to be here as possible around 5:15 pm that evening. There is a 16 hour time difference, therefore we have to do this during the evening in order to talk to our friends. Following the skype session, everyone can head to the gym for the "Sock Hop"!

Oh, What A Day!
Four "snow"days in a row---check!
2 hour delay---check!
Quarter testing---check!
Lockdown---check!
That sums up one of the strangest school weeks ever! The kids did a great job throughout the lockdown time today. On top of being in a lockdown situation, we weren't even in our own classroom! When the lockdown was called, we were in the hallway since lunch had just ended. So, Ms. Lloyd's class and my class headed to the nearest classroom to hunker down. Finally, about an hour after the whole thing started, we were allowed to return to the pod and gather belongings for the end of the day. Give your child a great big hug for the great job they did!
