Thursday-Secret Event!!!

Hi there everyone!
I hope that you are planning on coming on Thursday, Dec. 23 at 6 pm to Kent Station... get there early to find parking! I am including a link to Ms. Tjaden's blog since she put a map and some info that you may find helpful for the event... she was able to secure Kent Station's sound system to blare our music for all to hear! It should be AWESOME!!! See you tomorrow, Ms. B

Have you been reading? Peek into your planner to make sure you are all caught up on your homework.

See you all soon, Ms. B

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey you all,
Have a wonderful, unexpectedly long weekend and Thanksgiving holiday. I love the snow and sleeping in as much as you all do but am getting a little bit of "cabin fever". How about you? Be careful out there with the ice on the ground and the insanely cold temps. See you next Monday, Ms. B

SNOW?

I woke up to about three inches of snow on the ground at my house! I understand that you guys have seen a few small flakes at most. Wear those pajamas inside out to encourage snow... I will try to upload a picture of my backyard for you to see..... See you tomorrow!

Ancient Civilizations

We will soon be learning about Ancient Civilizations through participating in a simulation. There is a video game that has similar ideas in it (minus all the writing assignments you will be given!)... There is a free download at http://games.playfin.com/games/civ2/index.php

See you tomorrow, Ms. B
