100th Day!

Today (1/27/16) was the 100th day and comfy clothes day at CCIS!  Our class made a 100th day snack.  We had 10 items and we counted 10 of each item: 10x10=100.  We did several other 100th Day activities.  Two books we read were:

It's crazy to think there are only 75 days left in the school year!

First week of 2016!

The first week of 2016 was great, busy, and tiring!  It's always hard to come back after a long break, but the kids seemed ready to be back in a routine and seeing their friends.  As always, we had a busy week here at CCIS: CC Library visit with Ms. Rene, winter projects, New Year's goals, and of course getting back into the classroom/school routine.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.  I hear snow and cold are on the way.  We can't be too upset, we've had a pretty nice winter so far, but it was bound to change.  Please remember to send your child to school with a warm coat, hat, and gloves.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!  I hope everyone had a relaxing break.  I had a very nice break seeing friends, family, and doing projects around my house.  

This week I for see a lot of tired students and teachers!  Please make sure you child gets to bed early and gets a good breakfast so they are ready to rock and roll.

Let's start 2016 out on a high note! :)
