Happy February!

We had fun celebrating Groundhog's Day today!

Check their backpack for the cute craft, crown and graphing activity we made!

This week we were once again chosen as the K-2 winners of the Golden Broom!

The custodians think we do a great job of keeping our classroom neat and tidy!

Speaking of custodians, Mr. Jay & Ms. Kimberly have done an amazing job of deep cleaning our classroom every day this week due to the many illnesses we have had over the last few weeks.  I think about every kiddo has been out at least once over the past couple of months. If yours have stayed healthy, you are so lucky! We have really been encouraging proper hand-washing, uses Kleenexes and "cough pockets" rather than our hands when we cough and sneeze and keeping our hands out of our mouth.

If you ever stop by school and feel inclined to fill out a "Drop in the Bucket" for Mr. Jay and Ms. Kimberly for all of their hard work, I know they would be so surprised and are more than deserving!

What is a "Drop in the Bucket?" you may ask?  

It is just a quick little blue note you can fill out and drop in the silver bucket on the counter in the office if you'd like to compliment any staff member at Beulah Ralph.  They are read out loud each month at our faculty meeting and given to the recipients.  I know I wrote one for Jay and Kimberly and Nurse Kristen Lynn this week! Staff members, parents and kiddos can fill them out at any time. Just a way to spread appreciation and kindness!
