SICK SICK SICK!
I don't think I have ever been this sick! I got a stomach bug and the effects of dehydration are really taking a toll on me. Today, Wednesday is the first Ive been able to walk around. My muscles are totally fatigued, my resting heart rate is through the roof, Im having a hard time breathing let alone talking.
So, now that you've heard my sob story, I think I am going to post pone the Science Project until MONDAY.
SCIENCE PROJECT DUE MONDAY

The kiddos need more time on the computers and that gives you more time to work on your spectacular projects ;)
Sorry they have had a substitute, I heard she is doing a great job, and the kids are being good.
Thank you for your help and support. Please tell the kiddos Im on the mend and will be back soon.

Solar System Project, Souper Bowl, and Multiplication Facts
I know some of you are cringing because you know what that means-PROJECT TIME :) That is absolutely correct, but, we are working on the written part in school and I will be sending the "Art" part home to be completed with your families.
The "Art" part will consist of;
-A poster of your planet with facts from your report
-A model of your planet-styrofoam, paper mache, or whatever you like
-A brochure made on the computer or by hand-that invites people to come to your planet for vacation. (like a travel brochure)
The Projects are DUE January 25th!!!!
Multiplication Facts- Please practice multiplication facts with your children at HOME. We are practicing in school but I also want the kiddos to practice at home so they don't forget what we learned in class that day. If you can't get cards let me know and I can print some from a website that I subscribe to. We have weekly Scooters (Quizzes) that go along with our Rhymes and Times Program, and Rippers (tests) when our lesson/chapter is completed. We have completed 1 chapter/lesson so far and your kiddos are doing great.
Souper Bowl- January 30th from 6pm-8pm
We will be having our annual souper bowl with family games and activities in the school. What a great way to play with your kiddos and have some dinner together with US. If you can donate crackers, soup, or help out, please let me know.
*FUNDRAISER* We are having a fundraiser soon to raise money for our Spring Trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. Right now we are looking to sell coupon books with AWESOME coupons in them, I will be buying at least 3, and if you sell a certain amount your family gets a free one. Places in the book-Dick's Sporting Goods, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Texas Road House-Places all around South Jersey-Not just Millville.
Look for information in your childs backpack or on here.
Our new schedule is as follows-
Monday- A - Gym
Tuesday- B- Gym, Art
Wednesday- C- Spanish, Library
Thursday-D- Spanish
Friday-E- Music, Computers
As always, thanks for your support and participation in our classroom, it makes a difference, and it shows :)

Happy New YEAR!!! TOPIC 4 TEST FRIDAY
Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a great and relaxing winter break, I relaxed and did some fun stuff with my kiddos at home. We went ice skating, swimming, and visited with my family. It was a great time, we actually had Mr. Benson home with us too so we had quality family time :)
I know you all are back to the GRIND, as am I, but remember we are now pushing to get ready for the NJASK 3. We need to work extra hard and read, read, read! The reading portion on the NJASK is very long, so the more we practice the easier the test will be.
ALSO, we are having a Topic 4 Test Tomorrow, we have been practicing in class (it is drawing, and simple mulitplication) Please make sure you have flash cards so your kiddo can memorize their facts.
IT IS SOOOOOO IMPORTANT TO MEMORIZE THE FACTS.
I am going to post some more test preparation items in the near future for your kiddos to practice at home and during class centers.
What did you do over Christmas break? Do you have any New Year Resolutions?
Let me know for a coupon for your KIDDO in Class :)
As always, thanks for being you, and supporting everything I do...
