I am so proud of each of you for doing such a great job designing, snowman building, and decorating your Geo-bread Houses. All of the architects became building contractors and you enjoyed yourself so much! Your houses were beautiful. My only advice...stay away from the frosting! Ha! You go crazy!
I love and enjoy each one of you. Please stay safe and warm during the holidays and track-out. I'll see you again on Thursday, Jan. 21st. It seems so far away...
Blessings to you and your families,
Mrs. Taylor

Geobread Houses
Building supplies are arriving each day now. Our general contractors appreciate the generosity of the suppliers! Thank you! Our houses will be beautiful - and yummy!
As we complete our math unit on geometry, the students will become architects and draw up blue prints for a house. The blue print plans must include many specific measurements and geomtric shapes before being approved. The plans must pass inspection before building on Wednesday. The architects will then obtain their general contractor's license and begin building their graham cracker and frosting houses. Decorations will be applied on Thursday. Our complete Geobread Houses will be going home on Turtle Thursday as well.
I will be requesting some parent helpers in an email soon. Thanks for all you do!

Thank You!
Our school had a very successful Book Fair! We are able to purchase some much needed technology and books for our Media Center. I would like to thank each of you who so generously contributed to our classroom library. You are so thoughtful! Thank you for all of my books - you know how much I love to read. I am thrilled most of you like to read too, and now we have more great choices. For those of you who are not so crazy about reading, now I have more good recommendations!
