WHAT A DAY FOR STROLL TO FROG POND!!!
Read-a-thon:
Week one in the books! I'll photocopy reading logs and pledge forms on Monday and give them back immediately. I will keep a copy here at school for the kiddos to have and update. The students should keep the original to update their forms at home. We will put all the times together at the end of the READ-A-THON! Thanks so much!
Frog Pond was awesome!
As you can see from the pictures, we had a blast! We will visit Frog Pond again in the spring to see the differences and seasonal changes that occur right in our own backyard! THANKS to Mr. Hensel for organizing the trip and for his attention to detail! Also, THANKS to all our community and parent volunteers. We are currently working on a class poem about the excursion - to be published later!
