Merry Christmas

I'm sorry I haven't blogged since Dec. 1 but my oh my, life has been busy!!!!

Remember that we will go to the movies tomorrow evening.  As of right now they start at 5:30 but it says Tuesday.  I'll go by there in a bit and see when Wednesday's time will be posted.  The children know the rules and even though it is not a school sponsored field trip, they must follow MY rules.  #1  We will sit together  #2  We will use the bathroom before and not during the movie  #3  We will not leave the theater without ME seeing them get in a car with someone I know (parent, grand parent, etc.). Try and get there 15-20 minutes early to get a snack and use the restroom.  I will be outside waiting, Kelsey will be inside helping with snack purchases, Gary will be seating the kids in the theater. 


Have a great Christmas break.  Please encourage reading.  I will require that 180 minutes of reading take place during the break.  20 minutes at a time will be just fine.  Don't break the reading habit that MOST of them have gotten in to.  Thanks!!!  4th 6 week reading goals start on Wed. Jan. 5 when we get back to school. 


KRISPY CREAM DOUGHNUT sale starts the day we get back to school.  I'm going to send home the order forms tomorrow so you can sell early if you'd like.  All of the profit goes towards your child's field trip.

I have 2 extra circus tickets if anyone would like them.  $15.00-first come first serve!!  I'm excited.

Have a great break.  I know I need it more this year than ever-not sure why, but I know I do. 

I Love The Kids In This Class!!!  Look for the Reading Rainbow Video Dessert Party in Jan.  They did an amazing job creating these.  My daughter Kelsey had a wonderful time videoing them.  Thank the Lord she was able to help out.  I don't know of anyone else who would have had the patience that she did.  KELSEY IS GREAT!!!!!

Don't forget about coolmath4kids.com  First In Math.com, scholastic.com  Please don't become a video zombie during break!!!

Here are a few of my favorite family quotes...

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.  ~Author Unknown


I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.

The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.  ~Erma Bombeck


When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.  ~Joyce Brothers
