Secret Snowperson Gift Exchange

Tomorrow is our party and I just want to make sure that everyone is on the same page.   If you are doing the heifer project for your gift, go to heifer.org, click on the gift registry, put in my name (heidi, huey) and hit enter.   On the next page it will ask for more information, but ignore that.   Go to the bottom of that page and you will find the link to my registry for the classroom.  

Don't forget to bring in a card for your Secret Snowperson tomorrow too!  Handmade or recycled is best : )   Our party will start at 1:30 tomorrow.   During the party we will be making Blankets of Love for people in retirement homes.   If you know someone in a retirement home and would like to give them one of the blankets let me know.   Right no ...

Where is Mrs. Huey?

Well, I think I have finally gotten some really good antibiotics and I can get back to my normal self.   Earlier this month I got sick and the anitibiotic wasn't strong enough and I got really sick over the weekend with fevers, chills, body aches, head ache and ear aches.   Basically I was miserable!   I dragged myself to the doctors on Monday, not because I didn't want to go, but because I was that miserable it was that hard.   He checked me over including a flu test and put me on a super heavy prescription of antibiotics, pain killers and decongestant.   He says I am not contagious and that by Wednesday I would be ready to go back to school.   It was still hard to talk, but today I am feeling even better.   But sadly life doesn't stop when you do, so thus I am back logged with work: gradi ...

Theme Update

Last week we learned alot about forces and what are the three main types of forces: push, pull and twist.   We also talked about how objects stay in motion unless other wise acted upon and what that would look like in space.   We talked about the opposing force of friction, and about gravity.   This week we will be talking about balance and how forces are important in balance.

Halloween Party the 31st

Next Wednesday will be our first classroom party of the school year.   My room mom will be contacting those who signed up to help out early this week.  The party will take place the last hour of school (12:35-1:30-early release day).  Students will be given time after recess to put on their costumes that they brought in a bag that day.  Please remember the no masks, fact paint, hair dye, weapons or gore rules for the costumes.  In lieu of my son not being able to wear a costume to his school, we save his costume we picked out (red Power Ranger this year) at home to help pass out the candy.  Thank you all for your help and support to make this party a success!
