SPRING SPRANG SPRUNG!

GUESS WHAT? I have a famous friend who is putting together a new album. Her name is Julie Gold and she lives in New York City. I thought I'd share one of her new songs with you because I love it and it makes me happy! Write to me and tell me how it makes you feel and why.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Spring is finally here! I am REALLY happy because there's no more snow! My friends and I are going to go to the playground with our moms. There are a lot of things to play on there. There are things to go inside of and climb on, and you can get spun around. I won't be happy when spring is over because then comes summer and it's too hot!


Write to me and tell me how you feel about spring!

IT'S OFFICIAL! WE HAVE A NAME!

It looks like our two polls were split on paper and online between The Magic-B-Board and the Wii-B-Board. So the creators of both names decided that we should merge them to become... are you ready for this... drum roll please....

THE Wii-B-MAGIC BOARD!!!!!

Ta-Dum!!!! Hurray! So drop by and check us out in action... WE really do MAGIC in 214!

Your Vote COUNTS!

Check out the sidebar (on the left) to see the class poll. Choose the name you like best for our class interactive screen.

What's in a Name?

OK! Room 214 now has an amazing interactive touch screen thanks to the brilliant minds of Johnny Chung Lee and Uwe Schmidt. Now we have to decide what to call it. Write to me and let me know what you think.

The Peaceful Positive Meditation Lunch Bunch

Did you know that we have a meditation group happening in room 214 on Mondays and Wednesdays? I'm really excited about it. I've been getting some very positive feedback from the students who are participating. The meditation has been helping the students find wonderful strategies for keeping themselves together when they're angry. WOW!

So, my Peaceful Positive Meditation Lunch Bunch... share your thoughts with us. Tell us how you feel about our group and meditation.

Holiday Fun

Well, here we are... getting close to our Winter Break. How many days are left until then? Are you counting down? I love the smells of this holiday... Fir tree, gingerbread, cinnamon, what else? We have a real Christmas Tree in our dining room. Yum! Right now, it has these really pretty little white lights and just red apples on it.  I know you're not surprised about the apples- you all know how much I love love love apples ; )

My daughter, Lara, will be coming home this weekend from college. It will be so very nice to have her home. While we're off, I want to relax and read.

Are you going away or do you have any family coming in? Do you have any decorations up? Tell me what you like about this time of year.

Oh, and if you'd like to practice your multiplication facts, here's a cute game where you can make a Gingerbread House as you solve the problems.
