Sports Week

Don't forget about the Early Release on Friday!

Kendra can tie her shoe! Great job, Kendra!

Zane turned 6! Happy Birthday, Zane!

This week was sports week! Each day we got to dress like a certain team, and we also got to bring in a ball from any sport. One of the things we did with the balls was to put them in the order from smallest to biggest!

We played a sight word game with ping pong balls. I wrote a sight word on each ball and before the kids got a chance to throw it into the hat, they had to read the word. It was tough! Remmi and Courtney were the only ones that made it!

On Friday after learning all that information about sports, we played a Jeopardy game on the smart board. I split the kids in class and they had to discuss the answers in their group before they came up with their final answer! The game ended up pretty close! Before the last question, it could have been anyone's game! Some of the questions were as easy as "What sport do the Brewers play?" to "How long does a bull rider need to stay on a bull?" They didn't remember that answer- one group said 30 hours!

I also wanted to thank you for bearing with me this school year! It has been a very tough one for me. First, I lost one grandma on the first day of school, then two months later I lost my other one. Then, in November my husband found a tumor in one of his salivary glands and has to have the whole gland removed next Friday (It's in the middle of some facial nerves, so it's not an easy surgery, but so far, they are pretty sure it is benign.). And then my mom found out she has breast cancer about a month ago! I'm sure your kids came home and told you I was crying at least one day at school, and that is why! Luckily it had not spread and she had surgery last week. She is doing great and they are not even sure she needs to have chemo anymore! She will find out those results soon. I am so lucky to have such a great group of kids and families this year!
