After lunch, Room 8 had a surprise visit from Ms. van Ark. I knew she was coming (she had called before school) but I let it be a surprise to the kids. Sydney wouldn't let go of her...and then when the rest of the class saw Ms. van Ark...well, it was excitiing. They were running up to give her a hug...to let her know they missed her. Someone said, "Mrs. Johnston...take a picture!" So I did!

Christmas in Room 8 ... or... The Blog was only Temporarily Abandoned!
First I have to apologize for the abandonment of the blog. Our family went to Texas for Christmas...and then I've been spending a lot of time with my Camilla...so the blog was put on the back burner. I will try to do better. I love posting about the wonderful students who live in Room 8, and I know many of you have told me how you enjoy reading it.
So...backtrack to December! We first have to start with a huge 'CONGRATULATIONS' to Ms. van Ark for becoming a citizen of the United States! Here she was sharing with us about the day she was sworn in.
Back to our last week...What a time we had! The 'Holiday' performance when we sang with our first grade buddies, Gingerbread Houses, the Gift Exchange, and our party were highlights of the last week. The making of Gingerbread houses is always a lot of fun. I always enjoy all the parents, grandparents, great grandparents (well, at least for Bailee!), and siblings that join us.
On Friday, we had a wonderful party put on by some of the wonderful parents of Room 8! What a treat it was. This party was followed by our gift exchange.
December was a very busy...but fun month in Room 8.
Good-bye 2006!
