Parents,

Thank you for your patience.  We had technological difficulties last week and were unable to post the Spelling words on the blog.  We did encourage all students to copy the spelling words to share with family members at home.  Hopefully we have worked out the kinks of the blog and words will be posted in a timely manner.

                         

Kids Fest will be this Friday.  For any parent that is interested in helping with the booths and or preparing food from our country, Kazakhstan, please contact us by phone between 8:00 am and 8:15 am or between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

Thank you,

Christy and Meela

February Communication

Good Afternoon to All,

It has been a long time since we communicated through the blog.  We would first like to thank everyone who participated in making the Auction a great success.  The children really enjoyed making the products that were auctioned off.  Hopefully everyone had the opportunity to view those items.  Two of our class parents, Kelly Woolard and Travis Snyder, received the highest bid on the “Chocolate Lovers” basket and the mini-piñatas.  They are enjoying each part of it.  Thank you to all that contributed to the basket.

Our class sent home a note concerning our Kids Fest project.  Please remember to send in your child’s $1.00 for the hat.  Also, we have spoken to a few parents about help needed to make the “dombras” to also be used during the celebration.  Mrs. Rhem is willing to apply the base coat of paint to the dombras and the children will do the decorations.  With that said, we are in need of 2 inch ply wood and parents’ skills in using tools to shape the instruments. We are looking for parent volunteers; we still have two (2) months until Kids Fest but we would like to have parent input as-soon-as-possible. Contact Mrs. Meela if you are willing to help.

Finally, we sent home a fieldtrip permission slip to be returned by February 27, 2013 visiting Washington High School.  The children will watch a show of Dr. Seuss’ familiar writings.  Please return the slip and notify Leigh White if you are willing to drive (along with your insurance information at the bottom of the permission slip.)

Have a great short week,

Christy and Meela

News from the room

1. AUCTION - Our annual auction will be February 16 and our class basket will be "Everything Chocolate!!"  We would appreciate donations of wrapped chocolates...anything from boxed chocolate, candy bars, maybe your child's favorite chocolate treat.  If you would rather send in a monetary donation to be used toward purchasing chocolate, that would be terrific as well.  The deadline for the donations is Tuesday, February 11th, so that we will have time to put the basket together.

 

2.  KidsFest - Although KidsFest is not until April, Mrs. Rhem would like for our class to start on a project as soon as possible.  She would like for us to make a stringed-instrument called a "DOMBRA" that is used in Kazakhstan, the country our class is studying this year.  If you have any wood-working ability or are willing to paint, sand, etc. please contact Mrs. Meela.  Any time you can give would be appreciated and will go toward your volunteer hours.

 

3.  DUSTING THE CLASSROOM - If anyone is available to dust the classroom, please email me or send in a note with your child.

 

4.  PICTURES - Mrs. Meela is putting together a class portfolio of our school year, so if you have taken any pictures of any class events, please email them to her at kransom@wmpcs.org. 

 

5.  RED PLATE - Finally, if you would like to cover Red Plate lunch for Mrs. Boudreaux and Mrs. Meela for February, please email me.  We, also, need volunteers for the months of March through June.  For those who do not know, Red Plate allows our teachers to go out to lunch one day a month.  The volunteer would cover the classroom from 11:25 until 1:30.  The teachers go one at a time, so the other one will remain in the class.

 

Thank you for all you do!!!

Leigh

Amended 2nd List for 1/7-1/11

There was an error on the Spelling List for Jan. 7-11, 2103.  The word "print" was used twice.  Instead, we will be substituting this word with "prey".

Jan. 3rd and 4th

Welcome back,

We hope that everyone is well rested from the break.  Now it is time for us to get back into the normal routine of having fun while learning.  We have just a few reminders.

Because of our short week, January 3^rd and January 4^th, we will not have a Spelling Test. Please check the blog for Spelling words. We will have a Math Facts Test on Friday, January 4^th.  We will be back to “business as usual” next week.  Hot Lunch will resume on January 9^th.  Money is due by January 7^th. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and as usual, if you have any questions please feel free to give us a call or email.

Thank you,

Christy and Meela
