There's SNOW place like KCSMA! What a great week we had! Whew- it was fun and snow filled! We started off the week with an awesome snow experiment! We ended the week with a Chick-Fil-A assembly and Ms. Frey announcing we will be moving into our new school April 9th! Yay!

About the move announcement... I am on the look out for boxes, small, medium or big. I will take anything. We have to have our room packed and somewhat unpacked by April 9th. If you know of anyone who gets boxes for free and can get a few I would greatly appreciate it! :) I would love to have some volunteers, help move the boxes closer to the date as well. Details to come and please let me know if you are interested in volunteering in the move.

We want to welcome Aiden to our class family! Aiden is a great addition to our class! Welcome!

Congratulations to our Chick-Fil-A students of the Month: Jan and Giovanna!

Kahlo was chosen for student of the week! He has Max the Moose for the weekend! Enjoy!

Just a reminder: Our class is a peanut-free classroom. All products being brought into the class are to be peanut free. This includes ALL lunch and snack items. We want our class to be the safest it can be for our students. When bringing snacks for the class on Fridays, please read the label to see if it was made within a peanut factory. Thank you for all your support with this.

Report Cards went home on Jan. 13th. Please sign and return the white envelope. Conferences are coming up at the beginning of February. If you have not signed up for a time, please check the available times left. The sign-up is located under the parent volunteer tab at the top. Click the Conference Sign-up link and it will lead it right to you.

We are in full swing of our money unit in math. I am going to start our "store" where the students can earn money for their behavior and on Friday be rewarded for it. If you have any items like pencils, erasers, bracelets, etc., You would like to donate to the "store" let me know. On Fridays at the "store" we will count and exchange the money for items. The students will also learn to save for bigger items as well.
