Shrek

Today we went to the Shrek at the CCHS.  What a show!  The students did an AWESOME job!  The music, costumes, sets, singing, and acting are just outstanding!  Coal City has some very talented students/teachers.  If you need something fun to do this weekend, head over to CCHS to see Shrek...you won't be disappointed! :)

Picture is a little blurry, but fun all the same! :)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

This week, we have been learning about Dr. Seuss and Read Across America.  I love that the kids were able to name so many different Dr. Seuss books!  Once activity we did this week was to make an "at" word family craft.
