Schmidt's Class Facebook page

I decided to make a Facebook page for our class.  If you (the parent) would like to add our class, please do!  I feel like this would be something that families would be able to check easily and keep up-to-date on events going on in our room.  I also hope that it is something more user friendly for me to post pictures and updates for you to see at home!

Our Facebook name:  Schmidt's Class

Bucket Fillers!

Drew was named bucket filler last week.  This young man always has a huge smile on his face which can cheer anybody up.  He has been working very hard on his school work and has been a great listener.  Keep it up, Drew! 

Trista was welcomed to our class a couple months ago!  We feel very fortunate to have such a great addition to our class. Trista is such a great listener and always includes others.  I am always told by other students that Trista has "filled their bucket"!  Way to go, Trista!

Reminder - NO SCHOOL Monday, January 21st

Health

We have been learning about the five food groups and have been discussing our favorite foods.  We also have been learning the importance of each food group.  Today we tried some fruits most of us have never had before - Star fruit and kumquats!

 Trista enjoyed the new and interesting fruits. :)  All the kids loved the starfruit and said they would definitely eat it again.  I think Hallie would agree that the kumquats were a little on the sour side, however. :)
