Back to school, Back to school

Back to school tomorrow, ready or not! Hopefully you are ready because we have lots to cover in the 17 days until Christmas vacation.
We start basketball games this week. Boys, remember you have practice Tuesday night this week. Girls, we will practice after school on Wednesday like always. We play at Partridge at 3:00 on Thursday and will need drivers. We will leave school around 1:45.

We will be doing the family calendars for your parent Christmas gifts again this year. You need to get a list of birthdays, anniversaries, and any other dates that would be important to your family. You will also need a picture to use. This can be a family picture, a picture of the kids, a scenery picture, whatever you want to use.

I can't wait to see you all tomorrow when you can wait on my hand and foot!

Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted you to know that my surgery went well and I am at home recuperating. Thank you for praying for me today. You are an awesome class! I will be on the couch for the rest of the weekend. If you get bored, stop by and visit.

Remember to bring $2.00 for lunch after church on Sunday. We will eat a quick lunch and then practice.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! God's Blessings to you all!

Oklahoma City trip

To my loving, adoring, intelligent students!

It's been a little over a week since our trip to OKC. We had a fabulous time and you were all awesome! Tell me what you thought of our trip. Leave me a note in the comments. Let me know what was the best thing about the trip. What did you learn? What happened that you didn't expect? If we went again, what would you change?

Was your favorite thing watching the lions at the zoo?

Maybe it was the treehouse at the Kirkpatrick Center?
Or was it being at the National Memorial?

Let me know!
Love,
Your loving, adoring, intelligent teacher
