Though it was a short week here at school, students in Mrs. P.'s class got a lot of work done and had a lot of fun! Some friends created tissue-paper leaves in art to line a tree in the art room, some finished beautiful wooden baskets to take home in woodworking, and some began work on what will be a German flag for our room, the first of many flags we will make for our Olympic classroom! All of these projects will be on display next week at Open House, so please come and check them out!

This Wednesday we were lucky to welcome some visitors to our classroom! Students were given special boards and chips to play BINGO using their sight words in place of numbers and letters. Everyone did a great job listening for and identifying their words, and were treated to a special snack and a book. Mrs. P.'s class would like to extend a big thank you to our visitors for bringing so much fun to our classroom!

Students made yet another set of sight word flashcards this week to play games and practice with at home. With a total of ten flashcards now, students can lay them out and "walk the line" right at home!

And finally, we celebrated the birthday of one of our very dear teachers this Friday, Janel Dieter. Happy birthday Janel, we love you!
