Happy New Year (a bit late)

It's been awhile since I've posted--sorry!! The holidays tend to make you slack on things (must be all the rest and relaxation)! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I've heard various lists of items that the students got for Christmas and it sounds like Santa was good to them!
We are off to a great start to 2012 and the second half of the school year. I have been reminding the class that they are now closer to being third graders than they are to being second graders!! We are working hard on subtraction facts and money in math. We've begun Flat Stanley and will be sending our own Stanleys off for an adventure soon. The students are finishing up Continents and Oceans--I'm impressed with how well they are learning them! It's been a busy week back and we'll be busy the rest of the year. So much to do, so little time!!
As always a big thanks to those that have volunteered to help out--all those that helped with the Christmas party, the great flashcard parents, and everyone else that I didn't name!! Thanks!

Here's a great picture I took with the NEW digital camera some AWESOME parents gave us!! Thanks so much!!!
