Due to the storm which is brewing….Penn Manor School District is closed on Monday, October 29 AND Tuesday, October 30.  I am hoping everyone is safe and dry!   And hoping to see you on Wednesday (day 1).    School WILL be in session on Monday, November 5 (weather make-up day).  The second make-up day will be determined at a later date.

Pending the power situation, I will be working on some classwork for a graduate class I am taking online.  If you have power, comment or email me with what you are doing with your time!  If you lose power:  curl up with a good book, play some board games, tell stories with your family.  I’m sure you’ll have some exciting things happening.  Students know how to “catch” a story, tell it across 5 fingers, and save that story for later.  Or better yet, just grab some paper and write down your story for me!

We wore our crazy socks today, and combined it with “Wacky Wednesday.” What a fun group of first graders we are! Keep working hard!!!
     

It was a great day in 1-S; dressed in RED, sitting on the RED carpet, and we felt RED HOT, too!  What a pleasantly warm, sunny day in October!

Check out our ORANGE today!

On Monday, the students in 1-S showed that they are “teaming up” against drugs and alcohol.  Check out these sport jerseys and team gear!

The students in 1-S have earned their next reward.  For receiving 25 compliments on our baseball poster, they voted to have a “Wacky Wednesday.”  However, due to our Red Ribbon Week, on Wednesday the students are asked to wear red.  We will celebrate Wacky Wednesday on Thursday, October 25 (“CRAZY SOCK” day).            

Students are allowed to dress funny:  mismatched clothes, rolled-up pants, wacky hairstyles, etc.  Let’s have fun and be WACKY!!

Wacky Wednesday….so wacky, we won’t even HAVE it on a Wednesday!  🙂

To celebrate “red ribbon” week (being drug and alcohol free, making healthy choices), Hambright is requesting students show support by marking the following special days.  If you can, please:

Monday:  wear sports jerseys and team gear
Tuesday:  wear orange
Wednesday:  wear red
Thursday:  wear crazy socks
Friday:  wear sweatpants and sweatshirts

Attention Hambright families!  You are all invited to a literacy workshop at school next month.  Please click on the words “Reading flyer” below to view the workshop paper that came home.  This will be a valuable evening for students of all ages.  We hope to see you there!

This week is “Fire Prevention Week.”  Our class practiced at least 2 ways out of a room in case of fire.  Here are a few pictures of students working together (synergizing) to get people counters out of the house and safely to the meeting place.

Here are a few pictures of students cooperating during indoor recess today!  We’re not letting the weather keep us from having a great time “sharpening the saw!”
