Monday Memo 5/9/16

Good morning!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I was so glad the sun came out yesterday.  My whole family ran a Mother's Day 5K together, which was lots of fun.  I can't believe my kids can run three miles.  I couldn't do that until I was in my twenties.

Yard Sale

The yard sale was a blast!  I really, really love yard sales; it's in my blood.  As I type this, I'm sitting on my couch that I got a few weeks ago at a yard sale, wearing bracelets from a different yard sale, watching my son play with Captain America from another yard sale... Thank you so much for your contributions.  There was a lot of great computation going on AND some amazing finds.  The students voted, and it was decided the proceeds would be sent to Buddy Dog.  Here are a few pics:


















 
Homework Change

Much to my chagrin, the cultural enrichment performance was rescheduled.  So there is an assignment for today's homework on Kidblog, but the question is a different one, not what was written on the homework calendar.   Instead, we are voting on what type of community we will build out of wood (urban, suburban, or rural) and what we will name our community.

Farewell, Miss K.

Your children gave Miss K. a lovely send off.  She loved her ABC Book!

Penpals

Your child took very good care of the Flat Stanleys from California sent by our penpals.  Here is a animoto video we sent them of their Flat Stanleys "touring" Happy Hollow.

I won't be here Friday, as I am attending a family wedding in Florida.  I will miss your children, but I must say, I'm pretty excited.  Ms. Norcross will do an excellent job holding down the fort.  Have a great week!
