On the 2nd Week to Christmas Break My Students Gave to Me...

20 Brains a-thinking...

and a whole classroom full of Cadet Pride....

(It made more sense when I sang it in my head)...

Well, I hope 5B students had a great weekend.  I spent all day Saturday at my mom's house and made Christmas cookies! Whoa baby!  Here's just SOME of what we made!  

My belly is aching because I had to try every kind I made!  

BIG mistake!  

The countdown has really started, 5B.. We have SO LITTLE TIME to accomplish so much learning and complete so many projects before we part ways for a long winter break!  Look how busy the next days/weeks are...

Be sure to have your family look over the schedule above for the events and assignments due over the next 10 days! Let's end our 2nd quarter with responsibility, trustworthiness, caring and as always, RESPECT!

I'll know you checked the blog this weekend, if you get yourself together with other blog checkers (it could be one other, a few, a small group or a bunch like in the picture below), and when I ask, "What joys of Christmas spirit do you bring?"  The group should start singing one of these songs...

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Jingle Bells

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Frosty, the Snowman

Jingle Bell Rock

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

I'll hand you each a little something for your efforts, and remember, the best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loudly so all can hear:)  (So says Buddy the Elf)
