Feb. 3, 2012:  Last night was Family Literacy Night.  It was lots of fun!  There were three stations that we went to.  One was in Mrs. Bussan's room where we got to watch a fairy tale reader's theater.  In our classroom, we got to do a craft and pick out a new fairy tale book to take home.  And in Mrs. Reese's room, Miss Noon read a fun fairy tale to us.  There were lots of kids here and we even got to take a treat home!     By Andrew

Dec. 20, 2011:  Merry Christmas! One more day til our winter break!  We've been busy getting ready for Christmas . . .
Today is Polar Express Day. We are all wearing our pajamas and this afternoon we'll have hot hot hot cocoa and watch the Polar Express.  Kylie and Abbi have birthdays over Christmas break. 
Tomorrow we are going caroling at the Elizabeth Nursing Home and downtown Elizabeth.  We hope its not too cold!  But we'd really like some snow soon!  Our Christmas party will be tomorrow afternoon.
We've made lots of ornaments this year.  Two out of glass balls, mod podge and glitter, one out of cinnamon, glue and applesauce, one out of CD's and snowflakes, one out of paper strips, and one out of pipe cleaners and beads. 
Happy Holidays from Mrs. Schafer's 3rd Grade!

Dec. 9, 2011:  This week was very busy!  Abbi won Wildcat of the Month and ate lunch with Mr. Buchs.  On Tuesday Mr. Timm came and talked to us about Haiti. There was a bad earthquake in Haiti in 2010.  We are donating toothbrushes and toothpase to give to the kids in Haiti.  Their school is just like a wood shed.  On Wednesday we had our Christmas concert. Mrs. Schafer  brought her daughter to the concert, and she wrote "good job" on the board. We made train cars for the Polar Express.  We also made ornaments to hang from our ceiling.  We decorated our Christmas tree in our classroom, too.  We are reading "Moses goes to a Concert" in reading.  We also read "Earthquake in the Early Morning".                                                                    by Kylie & Hampton
