Hats on for Feild Trips

Guess what team I am routing for in the Super Bowl

Next week is "Hats on for Feild trips".  Students may wear a hat to school and keep it on all day!  Students are asked to bring in any spare change  
that they can which helps support feild trips.  All money will stay with your students grade level and will be used for feild trips.  For example, if first grade does not use the feild trip money, it will go with them to second grade.

WE WON!!!!

For the first time in Endeavour history....The kindergarten grade won the coveted "Bathroom Award".  This award is handed out to the grade level that has kept the bathroom the cleanest.  Next up..."The Hallway Award"

Calling for donations!!!

Calling for Donations!!!

Our classroom has been working so hard that we have run out of snacks and glue sticks.  If you can donate a box of snacks and a package of glue sticks, that would be very helpful.

Parent teacher conferences are coming!  Parent teacher conferences are officially February 18th and 19th....
However, since we only met at the beginning of the year, I would love to meet with everyone to talk about their students progress and goals for the rest of the year.  I will have time available before and after school starting in February.
