Okay, kids, last Thursday all of us made a list of things we wanted or needed to do over Spring Break. I think I got ONE thing done on that list - I took a few walks. How did you do on your list? Is there anything you can do today, on your last day of our Break? I think I am going to clean my upstairs, so that should be at least one more thing I can check off.
I hope you all had a fantastic break! I am looking forward to seeing you in the morning!
Well, I was really looking forward to staying at home this week. I thought I would get some gardening done and a walk or two. But all of this rain is making me go a little stir crazy! What kinds of things do you do when it’s raining outside? I like to read, listen to music, write in my journal, watch a movie, and blog. :-) Try to be creative with what you do while it’s raining. Otherwise, you might get bored!
This week I have gotten to spend time with a friend who lives far away in Los Angeles, California. We get to see each other only a few times a year. Do you have someone who you see rarely? Who is that? What do you like to do with this person? Write a letter or e-mail to this person, and tell them about your week.
I meant to send this out yesterday, but I have to admit, I was plain pooped! Our last week was fabulous, but very tiring. My students were simply wonderful this week, though. They did so well on Arts Day. They represented Dixie, you, and me very well. I am extremely proud of them.
It was so nice to meet with so many of you this week in conferences. I always enjoy those. Remember to have your kid read at least a LITTLE this week, and please stay very safe! 
I want to thank all of you wonderful parents who sent in candy and eggs for our Candy Hunt today. It was a HUGE success, and the kids simply loved it. (They were so darned cute!) I also want to send a big thank you to those parents who came in and helped today. We simply could not have done it without your help! You ALL are wonderful!!
Well, if you’re looking for something to do tonight, here are some links to some cool “St. Paddy’s” stuff. Have fun!
This is a video from the History Channel about St. Patrick’s Day. Parents, be forewarned that it does have a little part about drinking a “pint” of beer. Children, get permission from your parents before you watch this!
Maxton Cooper Gray was just born this afternoon (Friday, March 14th) at Central Baptist. He’s 8 pounds 10 ounces, 21 inches long. Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray, and baby are doing great!
No, I’m not talking about the Johnny Cash song! :-) Since we were on the subject of volcanoes, I thought it would be neat if I gave you some websites. This will hopefully be informative and fun! (And just for kicks, I’m including the Johnny Cash song.)
Here is a website with links to all of the current volcanoes in the world. One of my reading groups simply loved it, and asked that I give them the website.
Well, I hope you are all enjoying the gorgeous snow. I have not been out yet, but I thought I would venture into the cold here in a little while. In order to learn more about this interesting pattern, I have been really enjoying Bill Meck’s blog. (He’s from wlex on channel 8.) I thought you all might like to take a look.
