Happy New Year! Students focused on goal-setting this week! They created “New Year, New Me” mobiles to hang above their desks to remind them of their goals. Ask your child what they plan to STOP and START in 2019!
Speaking of goals and resolutions… students read “Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!” by Stephen Manes. Day 1 of the challenge was to wear a broccoli necklace for 24 hours. Moral of the story – NO ONE IS PERFECT… and that is o.k.! Practice makes progress… not perfect. 🙂

Thank you to Mrs. Charalambous for being our guest reader today! We enjoyed hearing “Mr. Peabody’s Apples” by Madonna and “Probuditi!” by Chris Van Allsburg. What great lessons on the importance of HONESTY and NEVER under-estimating the power of a younger sibling! 😉 We also super appreciate the delcious and nutritious snacks – Popcorn, veggie straws, pretzels, sardines, seaweed, and Vienna sausages! HA! Believe it or not, ALL snacks were consumed!
