December 18 in Room 11

• Thank-you, thank-you to the moms who came and helped with the crafts today. It gives great satisfaction to the children to be able to have a gift to give someone special.
• Wasn't the Holiday Concert terrific? We heard comments like, "You could see your kid!" "It was so well organized," "I was impressed," and "They really learned some music." Applause for the student mucicians at Hillcrest!
• Room 11 won the contest for the most cans brought in by the second grade this year, so we are giving ourselves a pat on the back. Thanks, too, for the parents who helped out by donating cans.
• The second graders did two things with their Elf Books today. First, they finished making page 4. Second, they went to the computer lab and designed a cover using the Word program.
• All of the second graders and their teachers really enjoyed making crafts for their families. Keep your eyes open for Christmas tree centerpieces, portrail ornaments. puzzle reindeer and yarn God's Eyes.
• School sing-along tomorrow.
