Who's Doing the Snowdance?

Hi Girls,

You must be doing a snowdance overtime!  If we really are out of school tomorrow, don't forget to look for my updates on the blog or on Google Drive or by email to your parents.  For the moment, you have your assignments written down, your math review in your folder, and your math and Wordly Wise books in your backpack. If we are out of school on Thursday or Friday, please work on the assignment we started in Google Drive.  Don't forget!  It is in your folder, and the directions are in your assignment pad. You are ready to go! Watch!  With all of this preparation, the snow will bypass us, but that's okay because we will have a great day of learning at school!

Have some fun making a snowflake!

Happy Chinese New Year

We returned back to school just in the nick of time to celebrate the Chinese New Year and to see our Chi Chi Lu looking beautiful in her beautiful pink Chinese outfit.  The girls loved it and sang this song to celebrate!

Girls, Let's Blog!

Hi Girls,

Aren't you lucky...another day off from school?!  I'm sure you have wonderful plans for sledding and snowman-making,lots of hot chocolate and all kinds of frivolity!  If possible, let's blog about some of our fun and share it with our classmates.  You can use the Daisy Blog as a mode of communication.  If your parents allow it, you can post pictures and videos, along with a few sentences, describing your experience, or you can write a short creative story.   Let's have some fun with this!

Also, we are still involved in our Fai-To, so everyone make sure and play! There are four hours left, so sharpen your math skills and compete!  Beat the Brits!

Have fun and stay warm!

Vocabulary and Jeans Day, Measurement, Reading....All Part of the Week

Double Whammy

Girls,

Remember tomorrow our entire school is hosting a fundraiser to help our little friend from St. Lucia
defray his expenses for his heart operation.  Wear jeans, and please bring a donation!

Also, we are dressing up as a vocabulary word tomorrow.  You already picked your word, so just come up with a simple idea!  The idea is to have fun and review the words!

Jeans Day, Gold-White, and All That Jazz

We're in that time of the year when all kinds of fun things began to happen for the girls.  The Gold - White Rally is Thursday morning.  I know that the girls have learned cheers from their captains and are going to get decked out in style!

Friday will be a Jean's Day. We are raising money for a little boy from St. Lucia, Hollison St. Catherine (really his name!), who is having lifesaving heart surgery in Richmond in February.  The proceeds from the Jean's Day will help to defray his expenses.  Tomorrow the girls will see a video that the LS Outreach girls made about this day. All divisions are participating in this effort.

The girls are rockin' and rollin' with their learning.  In math we are measuring literally everything in sight, so beware, if you're standing still, you may be the object of your daughter's attention.  At this point, we are concentrating on metrics. Soon, we will be starting a unit on multiplication, exponents, and estimation.  Actually, we have been doing all of that, so they should be ready for a full-on exploration.

Gold - White Cheer Rally Practice

Girls, don't forget that there is an early morning practice tomorrow for the Gold - White Cheer Rally next week. The practice begins at 7:45.  Golds are in the LSAR and Whites are in the Multipurpose Room.
