Dear Parents,


We had such a good day, today!  Maybe we should have two-day weeks more often….!  (Just kidding…!) There were, however, LOTS of firsties coughing and sneezing today…I think we went through a whole box of Kleenex today!  I continue to encourage and remind the kiddos to sneeze and cough into their elbow, so germs aren’t spread.  Is that what you do at home? 


After the school voting on who they all thought did the best at hiding their “Tom the Turkey”, we have our winners!  There is a student winner and an adult winner!  Brooklyn won for the student winner and Mrs. Friebe won for the adult winner!  They will be receiving their “prizes” tomorrow!  If you participated, thank you! Such FUN!

Mrs. Friebe's Tom the Turkey is the bottom one...hiding in the leaves....

We read the book “The Carpenter’s Gift” today and they kids just loved it!  It is a story about the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and how it is chosen, how it is decorated, and what is done with it when Christmas is over.  Do you know what they do with the tree once Christmas is done?  They use the lumber to help build houses for Habitat for Humanity.  How awesome is that?!?!  I looked it up and I believe that the lighting of the tree this year is this Saturday.  If you are around and able, please watch it with your firstie. J

We did a science experiment today!  Ask your firstie about it! They loved making predictions and seeing whether or not they were correct.  

I am sending home a book order tomorrow, for December.  It will be due pretty quick in order that the orders get to school in time for Christmas.  The order will be due by no later than December 4^th.  Don’t forget that you can order and pay on-line with our classroom code QHHQ7. 
The firsites are bringing home the turkeys that they created.  Please check out what they are thankful for!  

Finally, if I don’t see you before Thanksgiving, have a FANTASTIC one!  I pray that you are able to take some time to relax and spend some quality time with friends and family. 

Side note, my high school football team will be in the state championships again this year!  SO exciting!  100%, I will be tuned in to watch the Big Reds win! 

Blessings on your week!

Dear Parents,

Happy Wednesday!  BRRR…..! It is SO super cold outside!  I am not complaining, just merely giving my observation after being outside for recess!  Don’t forget to have your kiddos bring in all of their snow gear to go outside and play.  Also please double check with your firstie that they have extra clothes…just in case of an emergency.  

Now that we are into the 2^nd quarter, please take a few minutes to check your child’s grades on Fast Direct and as always, let me know if you have any questions.  

We had a good time on our field trip to City Market yesterday (I am sure that you heard all about it, right?)! Thanks to the parents that were able to drive!  Also, THANK you for sending in your firstie’s booster seat if you weren’t able to drive.  Every firstie had theirs…it was awesome! If you haven’t checked out City Market yet, please do so!  It is such a great local place to shop!  Below are some pictures from our trip….enjoy!  Our next field trip will be next month to the Chippewa Nature Center.  Please watch for details coming out to you soon!

Apple tasting...we got to try to four different kinds of apples.  Ask your firstie which one was their fav!

Hmmmm.....will this taste good?

"This one is SOUR, Miss Gallagher!"

We read our “main” story today out loud in class and I have to say that I was impressed!  They are really coming along…..keep practicing at home!  

If your firstie checked out a book buddy, they are due tomorrow!  Please send it back in.  Thanks!

Blessings on the rest of your week! 

Stay warm! 

Miss Gallagher
