On a sad note,
my dad is quickly fading with brain cancer.
I've been leaving school most nights just after the buses depart to sit with him,
first at Gunderson,
now at the nursing home outside of Sparta.
I apologize if it takes me awhile to respond to calls/emails.
Thanks for understanding.
On a happier note, my hubby and I were fortunate to see The Moscow Ballet perform
The Nutcracker
in Rochester on Monday evening.
I actually won the tickets on KTTC!
And now for our fun, educational, fast week...
Wow! We had 3 kiddos make the 100s club this week! Impressive!
Miss Brittany joined us all day on Monday from WSU. She is practicing to be a teacher! Good luck, Brittany!
We also had many 'thanksgiving leftovers' on Monday including a turkey dice game, where food comes from activity, turkey shoots and ladders, and turkey bump game!
Monday afternoon we created these glyphs
