Brrrrr!!

"Brrrr" said the children in Mrs. Boyd's Class when they came in from recess.

Please make sure your child has the proper coat on for outdoor recess each day. They are outside before noon each morning for 20-25 minutes. Even though the temperature may get warm, it is November and it doesn't typically warm up until the afternoon. Your child needs their name on all of their winter gear for safe keeping.
Thank you for your help!

Fun with Subtraction

The students really enjoyed working with our interactive board today during math time. Here is a video of one child when it was her turn. All the students had a chance to work at the board. This particular activity is called a flip chart. The students use these flip charts on the board with "pens"during literacy centers and during math centers. They love discovering literacy and math concepts this way!

Fall Festival Pictures

We had a wonderful day on Monday! There were so many fun things in our schedule! The children did a wonderful job displaying self- control on such a fun filled day! Way to go! 

Thank you to all the parents who planned the wonderful party, helped out with the party by sending items in, and coming to the party. Thank you to the parents who came to the pumpkin run as well! The children enjoyed seeing you there too.
