The students went elf hunting again this morning.  Eric found our friend on my schoolhouse lamp.  Our friend is now resting comfortably on Eric's desk, in his glove. Pictures will be posted on our Pictures Link.

Boy, it has been a busy moth.  Concert rehearsals, performances, shopping, and so much more.  Well yesterday we finished our letters to Santa Claus.  The letters were all put in special envelopes and sent home.  Today we had a little visitor.  The students found a message on the board first thing in the morning.  To no avail, they did not find him.  After lunch, our guest left a clue on our computer's screen saver.  Kaitlin found him in the Christmas tree.  She got to keep him on her desk for the rest of the day.  He comfortably rested on a bow and an eraser.  Have a wonderful weekend.  There will be a Social Studies test on Monday and a Math test on Tuesday.  Christmas Questions submissions are due on Tuesday.

Where has the time gone?  Can you believe it is the season of Advent?  Today we started our yearly floor prayer service.  A member from each grade participated.  We will have a prayer service on Mondays for each week of Advent.  Today Merinda and Kaitlin did a great job.  We lit (taped a paper flame) our first candle on our wall wreath.  It is the Profit's candle.
We are very excited to have Mariah return to the school.  The balance has shifted in favor of the girls.
Please remember our December Prayer Service is tomorrow.  Please have your child at school no later than 7:45 AM.  We will meet in the gym.  St. Nicholas Day socks are due by Thursday.  Have a great night.

Today was not our usual Monday.  We did a story unit with Strega Nonna.  We listened to a tape of Strega Nonna-Her Story, then we read the book.  After the book, we did an magic pasta pot project.  Later, after lunch, they watched a video of the story.  In between we did Scholastic News, printing, and spelling.  We hope everyone feels better tomorrow.  There will be a graphing test for math tomorrow.  Have a good night.

We were treated to DELICIOUS apple crisp from the Kindergarten class today.  It was a great surprise.  We were also apoted through the Adopt a Classroom program.  I was able to purchase a new rug for the room. 

Today we were scientists making observations with apples.  Goto "Pictures" to see what we did.  Your child's grades to date were sent home today.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Religion test will be on Tuesday.

I am very impressed with the students in second grade.  They did a great job of remembering our routine in the morning.  They also got complemented on their behavior in the lunch room today.  I am sure you are very proud of them.  Have a great evening.  Our first math test will be tomorrow!
