Shepherd's Flock

Here is a video clip from the Christmas Program. Thanks to all of the parents and grandparents who brought in food and celebrated with us afterwords. Happy Holidays!

I have to start off by saying how PROUD I am of everyone! We have come such a long way in a short amount of time. I find it helps to send 'work' home for children during breaks for those parents who want to know what they can work on. I am sending Winter Work home today. The children are NOT required to do this work. Those who choose to do the work will be rewarded. Feel free to use these as springboards for other ideas. I hope you all find this Christmas relaxing and rejuvenating. Have a great break and I'll see you in 2009!

Sorry this is so late!!! Feel free to send me reminders when I forget to post this stuff!

12/15 *Write a sentence using at least one word that starts with z.
*Tell an adult one thing an animal may do in winter (NOT the same as on the 2nd.)

12/16 *Count to 100.
*Practice your no excuse words using your flashcards.

12/17 *Count backwards from 20.

This semester has been a blast! I have enjoyed getting to know your children and I am sad to be leaving next week. You should feel very proud of the progress that all of your children have made since the beginning of the year. I also want to thank Mrs. Shepherd and Mrs. Smith for all of their help as well as the parents and staff at Walhalla Elementary. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences here. Please take a few minutes to watch my final presentation for the semester. I hope you have a good holiday break and get to spend lots of time with your family.
