Third grade lunch!

As a Christmas gift to the classroom teachers I offered to take over one of their lunch duties.  Today I was with third grade.

I was a third grade teacher for four years in Columbia and I have such a fond place in my heart for them.  Today I was highly entertained by their chatter and enthusiasm for ORANGES today!

5th Grade Celebrates Project Success

The fifth grade was  honored by the local Kiwanis Club for their efforts in raising money for Christmas for families in Moniteau County.  They were able to buy 22 $100 gift cards to Pamida's by selling chances on  tickets on Circle of Sharing baskets, working Movie Night and by working at several Carnival booths.  The Kiwanis Club brought snacks of cheese, sausage and crackers to be shared with the entire fifth grade class!

Pastor Pete was here to thank the students for their efforts.  He praised the students and asked them to pat themselves on their backs.   One woman who distributes the cards said that she gave cards to families who would not have had any Christmas without them.  Another family bought food and supplies for their home.  All who received the cards had needs that were fulfilled.  Pastor Pete said there was no greater good than helping another person.

K-2 Wait Area

K, 1, and 2 students will now report to the Multipurpose Room before school to wait before school starts.  The reason behind the change is to get the students closer to their classrooms.  The walk from the gym to the kindergarten classrooms took valuable class time. 

The students did so well today!  After breakfast students came out the library side and on to the MP room.  I visited them to see how they were doing.  Several told me they liked how quiet it was in there!
