Happy 2012

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We are so excited to start this year with a new student teacher. Her name is Kari Rodery and she is fabulous! We have so many exciting events planned for the rest of the school year. Here are a few pics from the holidays- not the best since I took them with my phone. Enjoy! https://picasaweb.google.com/113992952381608587573/CoralReefHoliday

The Fab Five!
Katie Thompson, Katie Miller, Marigny Risey, Christian Dart, and Margo Wilson all demonstrated excellence in reading for the month of November. All these students mastered their own personal reading goals. Who will be the Fab Five for December? Are you ready for the challenge?!

The Holiday Headband!!
We are starting a new tradition for holiday good behavior. If you have been nice rather than naughty, then you get to wear the headband the next day. All those worried about lice...we've got it covered! The headbands are sterilized each day! Alex is our first award winner! Yeah Alex!

Too cute!!

We are so excited to have a new Coral Reef Crew member! Meet Sophie Parker! Sophie was a Welch's Winner last year and spent the first part of this school year in Los Angeles. The Coral Reef have all been so sweet and helpful with our new friend!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone has a great holiday!  Here are some pictures from our celebration.  Enjoy!

IXL-Keep it up!!

I just got my weekly report from IXL and noticed that some of the coral reef did not go on at ALL last week!  Please try to go on for at least 40 minutes a week.  I have noticed that the students that have higher times on IXL are accelerating at a higher rate than those with less time on the program.  Also, if you are still having difficulty with addition and subtraction facts from memory (not using fingers), the 1st grade IXL has the facts by group.

Halloween Pictures

Well it is almost Thanksgiving and I am just now getting to the Halloween pictures!  It has been a crazy busy month!  I will try and do a better job with the Thanksgiving program pictures.  Enjoy!
