Welcome to 2009!

We have been so busy getting back into the swing of school that our class has not taken the time to blog much lately. We will start working on that tomorrow, as we are on a "snow" day today. Unfortunately, there is no snow....

Anyway, last Friday we held our school wide spelling bee. Sohani did a great job representing our class. She was not our school winner, but we are so proud of her efforts. It is a nerve-wracking thing to be on stage in front of a large crowd of peers, trying to remember how to spell words. Our school winner is a fourth grade student, for the second year in a row.

Today is also Inauguration Day. I am hoping we can have a good discussion of this in class and be able to write down some thoughts about this day.

Class Spelling Bee Winners

Yesterday we held our class spelling bee, in preparation for the school-wide spelling bee in January.

We had 8 students who participated....that's half our class!! I was very proud of their willingness to come in front of the group and try to spell words.

I am proud to announce that our class winner is Sohani! Our runner-up is Jonathan.

Stay tuned to see if Sohani will be our school champion!
