If you can read this, thank a teacher!

I hope all had a peaceful Thanksgiving Day.

I am so thankful for the time I get to spend with the students at WH Schools. I know they have dedicated teachers and staff members that truly do put students first. I am also thankful for the ability to read and use a library media center to learn something new each day.

This week I am in the WH School District on Monday only.

Monday, NOV 30, 2009 [Day 4]

K-Jass: Kindergartners will listen to counting books and then complete an activity. Number order is important when using the Dewey Decimal System.

2-Tangeman: We will watch the VCR Doug's Adventures Online. The film features Disney's Doug Funnie and his pals as they learn some dangers when using the internet.

Next week I will be in the district on 2 days: Tuesday with K-Jass & 2-Tangeman and on Thursday I will be at WHMS and discussing cyberbullying and online dangers with the 7th & 8th graders.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW!

Until next time,
Mrs. T. Reiter
