Fiesta!

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Fiesta is this Friday from 4:30 to 7:30. Please be sure to come and celebrate a fantastic year with Ocean Knoll. Our class is also running the “Sno Cone” booth. (Yes, that is how you spell it. “Sno” is the company name of the original shaved ice). We will need a lot of help. If at all possible, please sign up for a time slot. The sign up sheet is posted on the our room door. We really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Reading Counts @ Ocean Knoll!

Friday, November 16th, 2007

As you all know, we have been using the Reading Counts Program here at school and the kids are really enjoying it. Ocean Knoll recently ordered 500 new quiz titles for the kids based on their suggestions. Unfortunately, we were not able to purchase all of the corresponding books for these titles.  If you are interested in helping us out, we would greatly appreciate a donation of any of these titles. The list of new titles is below.

Thank you for all of your help and support.

Have a happy Thanksgiving Day!

The Media Center Needs Help!

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Dear Parents,

Our media center / library needs your help. We are trying to organize all of the books for the new Reading Counts program. If you have any time available to help us pull books from the library shelves, please let me know or just stop on by. Lisa Lester, Patty Bruns, and Stacy Jimenez have been there the last couple of days, but we need more people.  Come on by the library next week and they can show you what we need to do.

 Thanks so much,

Barin McGrath

Back-to-School Picnic

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Don’t forget that the Back-to-School Picnic is tomorrow. It appears that the picnic actually starts at 5:30, but many people will be there from 4:30 on since it was posted on the school bulletin as starting then. Anyway, hope to see you there!

Check out the blogroll (Psst! It’s on your right)

What’s a blogroll? Some new kind of bread? Do you eat it with soup?

Nope.

A blogroll is a list of other weblogs/sites that a blogger either subscribes to or recommends. Think of it as a links page. Another fancy new word for something you already knew.

I just added the Book Adventure site. Let me know what you think.
