Hope you all had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break! I know we did!! Now we're back in the swing of things and counting down to the end of the 9 weeks. Here's just some of the things we've been up to in Room 309:
* Before the break our class made holiday cards for the Georgia soldiers stationed in Iraq that won't be able to come home for Christmas. We sent them in the radio station B98.5 as part of their "Ho,Ho,Hope" campaign. We actually had names of soldiers to address the cards to, so hopefully the personal touch coming from Ford Elementary will put some smiles on faces all the way around the world!
* The Boosterthon Fun Run was a great success! Thank you all for your support and in getting your pledges in by the December 2nd deadline. If you have any outstanding or late pledges, please send them in as soon as you get them. We can continue to accept donations for our fabulous Science lab - which will be opening in January! Way to go Ford families - your kids will directly benefit from all the money raised. Mrs. Fritts and Mrs. Waddell made good on BOTH of their bets with the kids if they met their goal of $50 per lap by wearing the SEC team colors of the teams they despise. (see pictures at right)
* We will be meeting with our fabulous room moms very soon to plan our class holiday party, which is going to be held at 1 pm on Thursday, December 18th. If you would like to assist in any way with a game or craft, please let Mrs. Waddell or Mrs. Kastensmidt know. Since we did not collect "class funds" this year, we will be asking everyone to bring in a dish, dessert, or paper product. Stay tuned for further news, and feel free to join us that afternoon for the festivities!
