Run, run as fast as you can...

Yesterday we had a gingerbread day in gifted! We wrote our own versions of the classic Gingerbread Man, we made gingerbread glyphs, and ate "gingerbread man" cookies(actually sugar cookies in the shape of gingerbread men. We had so much fun and learned a lot to! I promise to update the blog with the many activites we have been doing in gifted. Coming soon...our FABULOUS heritage projects!!! I was wowed by the student's knowledge and presentations! We are working on putting it all in a voicethread so that you to can learn about our heritages as well. Stay tuned...

Shanghai Circus

We are going to the Shanghai Circus on November 19! In order to secure our tickets we have to purchase them next week! Permission slips have gone home and some have already been returned. If you have not sent your child's permission slip and money in please do so ASAP! Just send it in your child's regular classroom folder addressed to me and I will get it. If you would like to chaperone please send in $9.50 for your ticket. Thank you! I realize that most of you have just paid for another field trip, I promise this is it until January. I do not want anyone to miss out on this fabulous event. Please let me know if you are unable to pay and I will take care of it.
