Pete the Cat

You will not believe what happened while we were gone to lunch!!!! Our new friend, Pete the Cat, ran away.  He left us notes all over the school and we hunted everywhere, but we couldn't find him. Finally his notes led us back to our classroom where we found Pete with his shoes.  Boy, did we LOVE those shoes!!

Oh, no!  Pete is gone.

The hunt begins.

Determined!

Asking for help.

Please help us find our friend Pete.

Is he in the library?

The music room?

The gym?

Smiling faces!

Love those shoes!

Pete's back where he belongs.

Enjoying our snack!

Yummy!!

So good!

Perfect ending!!

Sight Word Party

Congratulations to the Happy Hounds and Spunky Monkeys who completed all 23 sight word lists.  This is the largest group of Hounds we've ever had to finish all the lists, 16 students in all.  We are super proud of their hard work!!  Mr. Betz and Ms. Nikki (along with Mrs. Thomas' second grade class) hosted a party for us in the media center.  It was loads of fun, especially the homemade toilet paper shooter, manned by Mr. Betz.
