Groundhog Predictions 2009...

Today we read a book called "Groundhog Day" by Betsy Lewin. In the book, people were waiting to see the groundhog come out of his burrow (hole). When he came out, they picked him up and said "Horray" because he didn't see his shadow. Then somebody took a picture of him and the flash made him see his shadow and he went back into his burrow. We guessed if the groundhog will see his shadow this year. Most kids thought the weather will be cloudy and he would NOT see his shadow on Monday. Take a look at our graph results:

Stuffed Animals and Hot Chocolate...

We've had an unplanned winter break. The weather turned wickedly cold and school has been closed for several days. The wind chills were near minus 20 degrees. OUCH! Before our little "break" we had our "Stuffed Animal Day". This was actually postponed from just before Christmas when we had yet another bad winter day. Anyway, we all brought one of our favorite stuffed animals to school. We drank hot chocolate and watched a movie. It was fun. Take a look at the animals we brought to school:

How Can You Refuse?...

Our friend and staunch supporter, The Dogfather (aka: Tony) is having the 2nd Annual Customer Appreciation Days this coming weekend (Jan. 10th &11th). The restaurant is located at 957 Route 59 in Bartlett. There'll be Give-Aways and a raffle. Check out some of the ways The Dogfather has supported our school. They're great examples of school and community working together! The Dogfather Links. Don't  miss out on this opportunity...with the prices of the hotdogs and fries so low, it's an offer that is hard to refuse. ;-)

Holiday '08...

Here's hoping everyone had a great Holiday Break and that your New Year is off to a great start. My apologies for not posting much lately. We're back in session tomorrow and will be back on track on our blog as well.

Before the break we had our Holiday Party. Thanks to all the parents who helped out. We were due for a special day on Friday, but ended up with a snow day instead. We've postponed our special day 'til a little later in this week. Here's a few images from our Holiday Parties.
