What this means is that when I upload items to Qactube to place on the blog, they are getting stuck. I have informed those who should be able to help me out…so we will hopefully have this remediated quickly. That is why parts of the Astronomy Projects are not posted on the blog…*** Service Learning Opportunity: We will be making Valentines for Primary Children’s Hospital as our next Service Learning activity on Friday. If anyone wants to come in and help, donate glitter, stickers, valentiney paper…we would lOvE to have you and any items to donate. We will be working on them from 10 – 11 am. Thank you in advance!!

What a day! You would be so proud of your students! The blanket adventure is off and running! They have picked up the skill quickly and are becoming snazzy stitchers! We will most likely be finished with the blankets by Wednesday. Homework: Read 20 minutes and record on reading log. {For the Christmas parties we are planning a White Elephant gift exchange. We discussed that they can bring in a book they have read and are ready to part with, a gently used toy, anything that they would be ok with receiving. Some students wanted to purchase an item and that is fine, as long as the value is $5 or less. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks!}  

Update on the blanket project: Any parent who wishes to volunteer next week, we will not need sewing machines….a FaBuLoUs volunteer has sewn them up and the kiddos will be putting their special stiches in place. Scissors of a sharper nature would be the only thing that may help us out! Thanks for all you do!

Tomorrow is library, don’t forget your library books! ***Tomorrow is $1 dress down!!!*** {Parents: We are working on an elf application.
