Winter Break Bash!!!!

What a day we had on Friday to celebrate our last day of 2015!!   Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who pitched in to make our Winter Break Party run so smoothly (those that worked behind the scenes and those that helped during)--especially with my being less energetic and spirited as I would have hoped to be.   What a TEAM effort!!!!   The kiddos loved their celebrations!!  

After enjoying Lunch Bunch (yay to the district for fixing our speakers this month, making Lunch Bunch a possibility again!), we headed down to the Angel Tree assembly.  To our surprise, the teachers mimicked our celebration and participated in Minute to Win It games as well!!!   I couldn't let down Team Wilkinson, so I channeled some hidden strength and beat Mr. Beatty, Mr. Treacy and Mrs. Hanke in "Christmas Ball". 

Check out the collection of pics below from our day...

Happiest of holidays to each of you this holiday season...may you be blessed with time together and many memories!!    I can't wait to hear how everyone spent their break :)

Does this sweater make me look...

Happy Holidays from this (ugly sweater wearing) Team!!    

The show must go on...

Huge thanks to Rex today for taking over for me...I can't wait to see how this story ends (and I knew if we skipped Read Aloud today, I may not make it to the end!)!!  

Kudos to Team Wilkinson for their awesome display of good listening habits :)

WOW Weather!!!

When can you say that on December 11 it was perfectly acceptable to wear this to recess?!?

We are LOVING this weather and soaking it up at recess today!!!   

Battle of the Books!!!!

Today Mrs. Dallaire and Mrs. Seitz  formally introduced us to the "Battle of the Books" books!!!   Our school wide competition will be in February; with the district competition in late March at Crestwood Elementary.   Students that are interested in being on a clasroom team should read at least 8 books from the list in preparation for the test that will help select the team.  Students need to know both the title of the book and its author for the competition.  

Below is the book list and each student received a bookmark that will help them keep track of the books they have read (and give them reminders about titles and authors)!!   

Happy reading team!!!

(...and no pressure, but Kenwood Station will seek to defend its 2015 BoB title at the 4th grade level!!)
