Need Snack and Pencils
The children have depleted my snack supply as well as my pencil supply. If everyone could send in one box of snack and one box of pencils, that should tide us over for awhile : )

Theme Update
This week is the last week of our Earth, Moon and Sun unit. Today we will be reviewing concepts to prepare for our unit test on Thursday. I have attached a review sheet to my homeroom web page. I have also cleaned out their folders of any information sheets we went over in class for this unit to help them review.
On Wednesday, during Theme, we will be taking our mid year Bullying announomous survey in the computer lab to see how we are doing in this area. We have had several monthly classes in this subject area as well as some impromptu classroom meetings when things arise and we just want to make sure everyone is feeling safe and happy here.
Thursday will be our Unit Test on the Earth, Moon and Sun. Friday we will have Fun Friday during Theme t ...

Mrs. Huey Out on Monday
I will be at a conference for Twice Exceptional Students on Monday. Hopefully all will go as planned in the novel I left for my sub : )
Theme Trimester Project
Last Friday I sent home the information for the Moon Brochure Project which is this trimester's Theme Project. While going over the details with the kids I realized there were two things that were needed for this project. Thus I added on a couple more point items: what to do when you go to the moon (real or imaginary) and what can you see on the moon while there (again some reality mixed with our imagination : ). Each item is worth an additional 5 points. These are the required items for the project. We also discussed some fun bonus things we ...

Happy New Year!
How time flies when you are having fun! A New Year and a time to start anew, or at least pretend to have a clean slate : ) I spent a lot of time getting myself back to good health over break and had fun relaxing and blowing my nose at Walt Disney World while waiting in line with the gazillion other people Christmas week. Case was right there with me and we blessed dad with the cold on the way home. Sharing is caring!
I spent some time getting caught up in my Literacy and Math grading and inputting over break. I am happy to be now getting caught up this week in Theme and Homeroom. Thank you for your patience with lack of grades, while I was sick the two weeks before break. Sadly when a teacher stops, the work still keeps coming in : ) &a ...

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 ...

It's a great opportunity to buy Holiday gifts (the gift of learning) and help the Library raise money for new books. Come and peek to see all the great selections for every age!
Chick-Fil-A Reward
We were able to get our reward for Chick-Fil-A fit into our schedule today and ate with the COW. It was great to see him and to fill our bellies. Good job everyone who helped us meet this goal of winning three times in a row. Nice job!!

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.
We Won Again!!!
Last Chick-Fil-A School Fundraising night we had the most students there from our class. Thus we have won three times in a row and have earned breakfast with the Cow. I need to figure out the logistics of this for they want to do it in the morning when they would be off ...
