Polar Express Pajama Party

We are going to watch Polar Express in our pajamas.  You might think we mean on our couch at home, but it is at school.  It's on Monday, December 16th.  We are allowed to wear our pajamas to school, but we have to wear regular shoes.  We can bring our slippers with us to change into if we want to.

Mrs.  Wood is going to read the book Polar Express to us on Monday morning.  Then, we will watch the movie and compare it to the book.

It will be SO awesome.

Our Thankful Tree

I love reading each day the varied things your kids are thankful for.  We really do have so much...

A Special Visitor

For Family Reading Week, the jr High PAWS came to read to South School. Imagine our excitement when our reader was Isaac, Mrs. Wood's very own big boy!! We've heard about him before and today, Mrs. Wood showed us a picture of him when he was in 2nd grade.  He had Mrs. Meehan and was in our classroom for 2nd grade!!

Yay!!

We are so excited about all of this food for the Backpack Program. We are learning how to be more caring every day!!!!

Veterans Day

Our class joined with 1st grade this morning for a fantastic Veterans Day program. We heard the songs from all of the Armed Forces, we learned what each branch does, and we even met a veteran!! Back at our class, we wrote thank you letters to one of Mrs. Wood's friends who served our country.

A Visit From Dr. Denise

November's character trait at South School is "caring" so we had a visit from Dr. Denise. She shared SO many ways that doctors are caring. We loved hearing her story!!!!

Yay for these two!!

Kylee and Vanessa made it to the Public Library over the weekend.
