Bucket Filler!

Tyler was selected as bucket filler of the week and as a participant to turn Mr. Boeve into a human ice cream sundae!  Tyler has been showing Bucket Filler qualities by being a wonderful listener, helping friends, and being respectful to the students, other teachers, and myself.  I've really noticed Tyler's effort to be a good friend and student.  Way to go, Tyler! Keep it up!

 Polar Express Day

Maggie and I dressed in our pajamas with our moose!

Hallie and Rylie

Jake and Braden

Sam began reading the Polar Express to himself and more and more kids began to sit around him to listen to the story, again. :)

 Christmas Party

We had very brave parents willing to participate in the build-a-snowman competition!

Team Kueper snowman!

Team Kueper snow woman! 

Team Cornwall snow woman!

Team Alger snow woman!

Students had to follow directions to draw a snowman on a paper plate without looking at what they were drawing!  We had some very interesting art work! :) 

Just a couple things....

No Word Journeys this week.

We will be having a special lunch on Wednesday in celebration of being Bucket Fillers!  Feel free to join your child at lunch on this day.  It is also our Christmas meal. :)

Christmas Party Thursday afternoon.  Please check your email if you are on the Christmas committee. :)

Letter from The White House

During election time, each student wrote a letter to the candidate of their choice explaining why they thought that person (Barack Obama or Mitt Romney) should be president.  Today, we received a response!! It is very exciting to receive mail from The White House!

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

Please make sure you are sending boots, snow pants, hats, and gloves to school with your child.  When there is snow on the ground, students are not allowed to be off the cement without snow pants and boots. :)

This week we are focusing on The Polar Express.  Students are invited to wear their pajamas to school on Thursday!  We will pretend we are boarding the Polar Express train.  We will also enjoy hot chocolate. Students may bring their favorite stuffed animal and a cookie treat to school, if they choose. :)
