Thanksgiving Webcast!

We have been learning about Pilgrims and Native Americans. We received letters from a Pilgrim child and a Wompanoag child. Today we tuned into a live webcast of a Plymouth reenactment. This was a reenactment of the year 1620, when the pilgrims landed on the shores of Plymouth. The children had a great time getting to see the houses, clothes, food, and more of these people of the past. Ask your child what was his/her favorite part of the web cast. What a great experience for our children. It will be one that they never forget.

School Wide Reading Skype Challenge!

Last week we challenged our whole school via Skyping from the 1st grade room to the rest of the school in the gym. The Dog House (1st, 5th, and 9th grades) challenged the whole school to read 1 million pages by Easter Break. If the school meets this goal, the Dog House will host a Open Game Night. We also sweetened the pot by challenging Mrs. Sweet. She has agreed to dress up like Hannah Montana the night of the Open Game Night... if we meet our goal (when we meet our goal). Our students and staff is sure this will be a game night that we will never forget. Reading, fun, and Mrs. Sweet as Hannah Montana??? I guess Hannah Montana says it best when she says it will be "the best of both worlds..."
