MRS. GALINDO'S CLASS

We have been busy using our Smartboards and 12 Ipads. Students have been so engaged in their learning and are also teaching me a few things! lol

We have also been synergizing during recess in our new courtyard. Thanks to Mrs. Doderer for her kind donations we have been staying active.

We also enjoyed our amazing author visit by David Catrow, all I can say is WOW!!!!!! How he can take something and make it into a picture, just amazing. Students really enjoyed.

Well our time at Canyon Ridge has come to an end. We will miss all our friends who’ve made our stay wonderful. We are very excited to be finally moving into our new building. I hope you are able to Sharpen the Saw with your family over this holiday break. I will see you all next year. Merry Christmas/Feliz Navidad/Happy Hanukkah and enjoy your break.

Students did a fabulous job with their Ornaments for the Planet. Here are a few pictures of the finished project. They worked with their 4th grade buddies from Mrs. Sheffield’s class. They all were so excited and they came out beautiful.

A big shout out to Mrs. Wilson for donating some fun games for us to use on Fun Friday!!!! The kids were so excited and had so much fun. Many thanks!!! Fun Friday is a time for students to earn fun activities for a week of hard work. Their goal is to stay above green on our Leader board. How do they do this you ask? Displaying leader qualities, sharing, helping other students, good choices, positive behavior. Way to go Lions!

I love spending time with family, taking walks, going to the park or swimming pool. We also love family movie nights or game nights. Everyone needs balance in their personal lives. Share how your family Sharpens the Saw:)
