Happy Birthday Kansas

Happy 151st Birthday To The Great Sunflower State!



We celebrated Kansas Day by choosing a famous Kansan to research.  Students located the following pieces of information through a variety of websites:  dates of life, hometown, most noted accomplishment, and two interesting facts about the Kansan's life.  Here's a sampling of who we learned more about...Bob Dole, Nancy Kassebaum, Alf Landon, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Emmett Kelly, Walter Chrysler, James Naismith and Amelia Earhart just to name a few!  We culminated our Kansas study by sharing our research and enjoying a piece of sunflower cake and a handful of sunflower seeds. We're so proud to be a part of this great state!

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

We celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life by reading books about his childhood, watching video footage of the March on Washington, and learning about his fight for equality and freedom in America. We memorized a portion of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have A Dream' speech. Enjoy!

'I have a dream that one day my children will live in a nation where they will be judged, not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'

We started our Winter Break clear back on December 21st. Lots of fun things have taken place since then...including welcoming a brand new year. Even though we've been back in school now for four days, it is just now that we are finally all back together again. Be it sickness or trips, this is the first day we have finally enjoyed 2012 all together! Let us wish you a Happy New Year and may 2012 be full of all of the things that you love most!
