because of winn-dixie by Ryann

in our class room 205 we have been watching because of winn-dixie! we have been watching because of winn-dixie because we read the book. the movie is super good!! but for some things I did not imagine like it was like opal how she looked and i definitely did not imagine how the preacher was in the movie.My favorite part of the movie so far is the part where opals dad the preacher made her get mac and cheese and tomatoes so opal went and she went to the produce section and opal saw the manager waving his arms around and yelling get this dog and then winn-dixie tackled the manager and started kissing him and the manager started crying and every body was staring it was hilarious what was your favorite part of the movie?

New Years Resolutions By: Luke

The past two day's we have been working on New Years Resolutions. It says 2 way I can be a better student, something I want to stop doing,1 person in my class I want to get to know better and 3 books I'd like to read. Today we made heads with 2013 glasses and party hats. Then we glued the party people to our writing. They look so cool!!! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Were you happy to see school begin today?

This time of year I find myself humming a line from a popular Christmas song, "...and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!" Although I thoroughly enjoyed the extra time I was able to spend with my family, I was ready to get back to work.

The students shared about their memorable winter breaks and seemed excited to get started with 2013! We have a few new faces joining us this semester. Tomorrow we get a new student, Shirin. Shirin is a former Hawthorn Husky and I'm sure many will be glad to see her return. Also, I am glad to introduce you to Ms. Taylor Askin! Ms. Askin is a student at Northwest Missouri State University and will be completing her student teaching experience with us. I feel very lucky to have Ms. Askin with us this semester. We will be planning our lessons and co-teaching together. Your child will have access to two adults during their day. Ms. Askin is also very lucky to be placed with such respectful and responsible children. She will be with us until May.

Before I close, I want to extend my deep gratitude for the lovely Christmas gifts you gave me. I am so privileged to work with amazing kids and supportive families.

Happy 2013!
