Welcome back students! I hope everyone had an enjoyable winter break and was able to enjoy the nice weather. Today's assignment is to send an email to any teacher in the school letting them know what you did over break. If you want a response be sure to ask the teacher what he or she did over break too! You can find all the email addresses for teachers on the back of the boards next to your computer monitor. Please let Mrs. Geigner know when you are finished. Special thank you to Ms. Doran for recommending this great game! Can you help Santa slide down the hill? Check it out at: http://smartboards.typepad.com/smartboard/files/snow_line.swf
