Hello dear friends and families,
We had a great time celebrating our Henry and Mudge reading marathon. The children worked hard to complete all 20 books in the series. Everyone received a certificate, a small prize, and then we had games and activities at our party. Thanks for sending in food and drinks to add to the festivities. The highlight of the event was a personal visit from two Hillsboro police officers and their search and rescue dog, a German Shepard named Fanto. The officers demonstrated Fanto's skills and talents which included following many voice and hand commands, finding a lost object by scent, and showing how he protects officers from attacks. It was amazing.
Our second celebration was our Christmas party which happened the next afternoon. We made a hand painted, glittery ornament, had hot chocolate and real whipped cream, did a Yankee book swap, and played with new legos and games. It was way fun!
Believe it or not, we also completed several math lessons, another unit in our reading program, wrote thank you letters, sang at our holiday assembly, and cleaned the classroom top to bottom.
May you have a merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
