Happy Holidays!

It's hard to believe that the end of 2013 is upon us! The past few months have flown by and for the past week we have been having a great time doing Christmas activities. Today we delivered the "warm fuzzies" that we prepared for each other and it was great to see the smile on the kids faces when they read what the other kids think of them.

We ended the day with some Christmas Minute to Win it Games which was a hoot!

 Tomorrow the Mulvey Store will be opened in the morning for the kids to go shopping with the money they've earned and we will end the day relaxing with a movie. I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday and a Happy New Year! See you in 2014!

Dear Santa...

Students were hard at work preparing letters to Santa today! It's hard to believe that there are only a few weeks left until the holiday break! We are looking forward to winding down the next few weeks with some festive activities and good times. This Christmas season I am truly thankful for the amazing class I have, they make my home away from home a wonderful place to be!

Student Led Conferences

The students and I have been busy this week preparing for the Student Led Conferences this Thursday and Friday. We have been putting our portfolios together and practicing what we are going to share with you. Student Led Conferences are a fabulous way to celebrate your child's successes this term. I do hope you are able to take the time to look at your child's work. I look forward to seeing you this Thursday or Friday!

Happy Halloween!

Kids had a great afternoon playing some Minute to Win It tasks (Face the Cookie, A Bit Dicey, The Dizzy Mummy, and Defying Gravity) and relaxing at the end of the day with some snacks and a movie. I am wishing everyone a relaxing long weekend and hoping that everyone has a safe night Trick or Treating!

First Gym Blast of the Year!

Students enjoyed their first middle years Gym Blast on Friday. The students and myself had a blast competing in the events. We had several relay events including making a chain, popping balloons, and spinning around until we are dizzy and running. We ended the gym blast with the whole class pushing Xavier across the gym in our sea of waves!
