Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends! I love this time of year because there are so many special things going on. I'm already looking forward to the Polar Express Pancake Breakfast at the Applebees in Boiling Springs this Saturday, December 5. I'll be there in my "jammies" to serve breakfast to our OES families. Last year was a lot of fun and fellowship, and I plan to make this a yearly tradition!

In Room 109, we ended November with two wonderful events: our first field trip and the Clemson-Carolina Relay For Life Challenge. Our field trip took us to Kidsenses in Rutherford, NC, an interactive children's playground, where we also learned about solids, liquids, and gases. The students had a blast, and I appreciate those great parents who volunteered to chaperone!

Finally, the week before Thanksgiving break, our school participated in the Clemson-Carolina Relay For Life Challenge. As you can see below, both teams were well-represented in our classroom. Unfortunately, Clemson was able to raise more money than Carolina, so I, as a loyal Gamecock fan, had to get a pie in the face from the two students who raised the most money in my class, Carter Robinson and Brittany Moss. Hey, It's all for a great cause - to stop cancer!
