Valentines Day has come and gone. We had a delightful party thanks to many generous parents. We are near the beginning of the 5th six weeks of school. At this time our goals for the students include writing to 100, counting to 100, reading sight words, blending words, and some AR reading. Keep up the good word for a great end to a great year.

Here I am at the state technology convention in Austion. The weather is so nice and warm. They even have flowers planted and blooming outside. I have completed my presentation and all is good. Now I can settle down and enjoy myself. It is positively overwhelming and wonderful. Hey! You name it and they have it on display. Oh by the way did I mention that nothing is free. That's right everything has a really nifty look and a nifty pricetag to go along with it. My class is surviving very nicely without me. I am just a disposable commodity. Just kidding. I miss everyone at Childress. Have a great day.

School is moving so rapidly. We have welcomed the new year in and now it is time to administer six weeks tests. Report cards will be sent home next week. State mandated TPRI testing also begins next week. It is such a busy time in Kindergarten. The students are so great to take everything into stride and to go with the flow. The only difficulty right now is the cold weather that has inhibited outside playtime for the students. They get a bit restless when kept inside. The student now have a blog of their own for you to view. They make entries independently. Some of the entries are a bit puzzling, so tune in and try to solve the puzzles at kcantoo.blogspot.com
