CAMP ERDMAN 2008
Well, the pictures are up in our gallery, and reflections are in our portfolios! What a wonderful time was had by all.Below are 3/4H's most memorable moments.
Happy Reading!
My most memorable moment at Camp Erdman was...
... having a mini-shower party in my cabin
... singing and dancing at the campfire
... playing in the Olympics and being on different teams
... learning the Bazooka Bubble Gum song
... the group challenge because you had to communicate a lot
... seeing so many bunk beds in one cabin
... getting to hang around in our cabins with different people from different classes
... the Science Fair - putting fire under the water
... when I could act super crazy at the campfire
... pretending to be a human pizza
... being so close to the beach at the campfire
... when I learned how to lift ice with a tiny piece of string during the Science Fair

Happy New Year, and Welcome Back!
Hope everyone had a nice holiday season and is rejuvenated for 2008!
Most of you opted for your child's portfolio to go home after the break. Hopefully, you have had the time to go through it and comment to your son or daughter on their work. Please send the portfolios back to school before this Friday,1/11/08, as we need to begin working on them!
This week in class, we have focused more on spelling in their writing. We did a mini-lesson on consonant blends (sounds that come together in a word) since most children were still spelling words like "squeak" and "scrap" incorrectly. They have since gotten better with the letters that spell the beginning sounds, but every once in a while go back to spelling a word "phonetically" (as it sounds). Please help reinforce this spelling rule at home if you see your child using it incorrectly.
