Hello Everyone,

Here are a few scenes from Primary 1, from our first week in March.  We moved to Africa, we ate Green Eggs and Ham, and we moved to some African music at the gym.  Enjoy…

Our African snack (of corn bread and yams) is served!

Laura teaches us more about the orchestra by sharing her cello (too cool!)

On Friday we went to the gym.  While the African music played we skipped…         (the photos from the top of this blog were supposed to go here)

Dear All,

As a reminder, the WCM cakewalk will be held this Sunday, February 21 @ 2:00. It will be at the W & L pavilion with the doors opening at 12:30, for those of you who are able to come and help with the set-up.

To answer some questions that are floating around, you may NOT purchase tickets in advance. The walk tickets will be sold at the door 4 for $1.00. Every time you walk for a single cake, it will cost a quarter (using the tickets that you purchase) per person.  We will accept trays of cookies or brownies along with cakes as well. Please know that there will be a crate at the end of the cake table and which ever cake is on the top of the crate is the one cake that we will give away for that specific walk. There will be no letting the winners choose their cake. Trust me, that is total chaos when we start to let every winner choose a cake.

I am amazed at how many people have NEVER been to a cakewalk. I hope we make lots of money for our school and I hope there is a huge turnout with people liking the idea of the cakewalk, especially since a lot of people have never witnessed exactly how a cakewalk is handled. To explain how it works, there will be 70 chairs, each numbered, all placed in a circle. When the band plays music, we walk in the circle. When the band stops playing music, we sit in a chair. This is when a number will be called aloud and if the number called matches the number on your chair, you win the cake for that round. We do this til all cakes are gone.

Please know that we will also be selling door prize tickets and raffle tickets. I have collected some great items for door prizes and we have had a WCM parent pull together some awesome baskets, each with a theme, which will consist of the raffle tickets that you may purchase.  Food and drinks will be for sale.

I hope you all will be able to come out to support this fundraiser for WCM.

Thanks,
Amanda McKemy

The Pre-toddlers had lots of fun participating in baking heart-shaped cookies and exchanging Valentines with one another.

Dear All,
 
We have been so distracted with the snow that I wanted to remind you of a couple of dates.  Baring more snow, Monday, February 15, 2010 we are open!  Also, our Dad’s Day Visits are coming up fast.  February 17 – 19 we invite Dads to visit our classrooms.  We hope many of you will be able to join us.  Please know that with all your missed work, if you can only stop by for a little time, it will be appreciated.
