Today, K/1B started an author/illustrator study on Jan Brett. They learned where the author lives, what inspires her stories and the name of her first book. The students were really excited to listen to the first book "Trouble with Trolls", and all the activities we did with it. They especially enjoyed the short clip I found about Norway, which was the setting of the book. By the end of the day, they were all excited and wondering when I was going to read the sequel.

Civic Center:
Thursday, November 21 will be our first skating trip to the Civic Center!! If there are any parents available to come at this time, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Croft Elementary Skating Rink:
Croft's skating rink offically opened yesterday at lunch time! Students were very excited!! Due to the fact that kindergarten children will need help with more than just putting on skates, it may be a good idea for the kids to have a parent with them at lunch, if they are interested in skating. This way, students will be able to skate on the rink longer, instead of waiting in line for someone to help them. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of this matter!!
