Brag time

Well...before I begin to brag...I need to just reflect on myself as a HORRIBLE teacher blogger! Okay, now that that is out of the way onto bragging about you and your amazing littles!

1.  FIREBALLS...one of the top 3 in attendance at Spring Creek BBQ SPEAR-IT night!
2.  Angel donations...

                                        What a wonderful holiday this little girl is going to have thanks to all of you!

3. Homework...I've gotten several videos already and the little are so excited to share their customs and traditions with their friends.

4.  FIREBALLS...just overall  are doing GREAT.  I just love how hard everyone is working and how proud they are of themselves! (GRIT GRIT BABY)

I am so thankful that I get to be a part of this group of littles lives!  Thank you all for everything you do to support your little, me and our school!

Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Holidays everyone!!! I am so thankful for each and every little...they bring me so much joy! I am thankful for each and everyone of you for allowing me to be their teacher and for all of the support you give to us!

please don't forget about our little 3 year old girl.  Her needs are the BASICS and her wants are toddler headphones, little Einstein toys and large legos...
Thank you to all that have donated...Please think about this little one as you are out shopping on Black Friday! ;)  Thank you!

I am SO far behind on uploading VIPs and classroom pictures and videos.  I will try to work on those over the holidays and get caught up!

December Homework

Hi Parents,

December homework was sent home this week.  It is not due until the week 7-11.  We will share as they are finished! 

This month we are all about TECHNOLOGY and the holidays.  Our objective is to compare and contrast holiday customs and traditions!  This year we wanted to send it home before Thanksgiving because many of us have traditions that begin this coming week!!! I would like for you and your child to create a documentary style video “documenting” those traditions.  Your child should be the narrator…he/she can discuss/interview/share your holiday traditions.  I would like for you all to be as creative as you wish…Last year we had a cooking demo of a special cookie from Ireland!  So much fun for the kids to see what is important to each of us!

The easiest way for us to be able to view is to upload to youtube and send us the link.  However, you may try to send it via email on a flash drive…or even dropbox (I’m sure there are many other ways as well)

some examples:

Hello Spears Families:

Does your family always wind up with an abundance of leftover HALLOWEEN CANDY and not know what to do with it? This year the Spears PTA is partnering with Operation Gratitude to give you a solution!

Collection containers will be on the cafeteria stage from November 2-6th.  Bring in your excess (new) candy and we will ship it to our Troops serving overseas.  Feel free to include letters, cards, toothbrushes and or floss as well.  Our troops love getting care packages!

This candy will be enjoyed by our Troops and handed out to those less fortunate in the many parts of the world where candy is non-existent.  In return,  the Spears community will get information, build relationships and bring communities together.

Thank you in advance for you generosity,
Erin Small, Healthy Lifestyles Chairperson
