Winter Windup

How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
~Dr. Seuss

Our little groundhogs

Last week we had an assembly where we were introduced to Hellings' Castle of Care. Students may earn bricks to go on the castle when they demonstrate our 3 school rules:

• Take care of OURSELVES
• Take care of OTHERS
• Take care of THIS PLACE

 Here is the video that was shared during the assembly.

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a restful and fun filled winter vacation. We are now into our second week of school and the winter weather continues to delight. We have had a mix of rain, sun and snow over these last couple weeks. When it is exceptionally wet outside we sometimes stay inside during recess and lunch. Here are a few pictures of our inside day last week, as well as, a couple of pictures of our special birthday boy who turned eight!

Guess Who?

We have been learning all about owls this month. They really are quite fascinating creatures. On Terrific Tuesdays with Mrs. Nielsen, we have learned about the elf owl and the burrowing owl and next week we will learn about the snowy owl. We have made some fabulous owl art with Mrs. Aubey on Fantastic Fridays.  Can you guess whooooooooo is behind the mask?

Halloween Fun!

Pumpkin Patch

It was raining and it was muddy, but our trip to the Pumpkin Patch was totally worth it! I think the pictures speak for themselves. 

Happy Halloween everyone!
