Today the class went to Ann Arbor to see the Salsa band, "Baby Loves Salsa." The music was great and got the kids on their feet singing and dancing along.

E-mail
Over winter break our e-mail system had some troubles. It is fixed, but for some reason the e-mails I send to outside addresses are getting sent back to me or are delayed. I've been sending parent e-mails through my Oakland University Email kawoolse@oakland.edu. Just to be sure I get your e-mail, can you please continue to use my Oakland address. Thanks!

Log Cabins
This is the last week for our current social studies unit and next week will begin 6 weeks of science. To end off the unit, we are learning about important Presidents all week long. Today we learned all about Abraham Lincoln and the important things he did as president. One thing we learned about was that he grew up in a log cabin. After we read all about him, we made our own log cabins out of frosting and pretzels.

Family Fun at the Skate Rink
We had a blast at the skate rink today. It was great to see so many families enjoying the day together. I was impressed at how well many of our students skate so well! Enjoy the pictures from the rink.

Reading Website for Parents
Recently, I found a GREAT website that has many helpful articles for parents about reading at home with your student. Often articles are even broken down by the grade of your student. Enjoy!
