San Antonio, Texas

I am heading to San Antonio for a few days this week to attend the National State Teachers of the Year Conference! Shannon Miller will be the guest teacher, with some fun learning planned. I can't wait to share this adventure with all of you!

January Birthday Breakfast

Please join us for our January birthday breakfast this Friday, the 15th. We welcome all families as we snack and celebrate all born in January. At 8:20 we will have a brief morning meeting, and will enjoy a snack together. Hope to see you there- even if you have a birthday in a different month!!

Welcoming a New Friend

Our class welcomes a new student. His official first day will be on January 5th, but our friend stopped in for a visit in pajama day! 

Thanks for bringing a snack to share too!

Helping

Thank you for sending in so many non- perishable food items!

Our class delivered all of the food items to the Montpelier Food Pantry. Liz and Kristen we're thankful for the donations and showed first graders how to sort items and stock shelves. The food pantry is open to all Montpelier families. It is  located at Trinity Church- next to the library.

Day in the Dark

On December 22nd we recognized the winter solstice, and had our annual" Day in the Dark". We tried to block all the daylight, and used flashlights, headlMps and battery candles for light sources. We had some glow sticks too!

Our mystery readers, Amanda's grandparents,Jo-Jo and Boom-Boom, even read a story about cooperation using flashlights!

What a special way to welcome winter!
