I am a bit lonely without you guys. To keep myself busy I am babysitting for my nieces today. They are in Kindergarten, 4th grade, 7th grade, 9th grade and my nephew is a junior. He's off doing his own thing and the oldest girl is off playing hockey.
I am still recovering from a very busy Christmas schedule as well. There were 3 parties at my own house which kept me busy busy busy. I did some cooking and cleaning and table setting and gift wrapping and ...well you get the point.
When we ...

Mr. Kovacs and I have been taking dance classes. I used some video footage of us at our last class as my Christmas Card to you. Mr. Kovacs put it somewhere on this site. Tickets (4) to everyone who finds it and blogs a comment about it tonight. Happy searching!!

Movie Night Fun/ Long Lake Upon Us
Posted by Jamie Kovacs on Sunday, December 14, 2014,
Movie night was great. We went through 10 whole large pizzas--Mason P. says he ate 9 pieces alone. Yuck! We also ate a lot of apples (a whole bowl full), drank a few packs of gatorade and ate lots of Grinch Ka Bobs (They were so cute!)
The Long Lake packing list was on the back of the paper version of the peek that went home. The online version still has the spelling words as we will take the spelling test Monday. Study tonight. If you want to see a Long Lake packing list online you can ...

Outing with Mrs. K
Posted by Jamie Kovacs on Thursday, December 11, 2014,
It's still ON!! Now it doesn't look like it is going to be 40 degrees so...we may go outside. Only time will tell. If not, we will have our pizza party in a surprise location that will make it more fun than simply staying in our classroom! Hmm...where will it be? Blog your thoughts--of course it has to be in the school and needs a smart board for showing a movie.
We have collected about 16 permission slips. Wow! You can still bring it tomorrow or tell mom or dad to email me that you hav...

Stay and Skate/Outing with Mrs. K
Posted by Jamie Kovacs on Sunday, December 7, 2014,
Just to confirm, we will be doing the December "Outing with Mrs. K" on Friday, December 12 from right after school until 5 pm. I will collect 3 or 4 bucks from kids who think they want pizza and see how much money I get and that will determine how much pizza I order. Everyone is welcome to bring a snack to share and a beverage or snack for themselves. IF it is too warm out to skate (which would be too bad) THEN we will stay in and watch Prancer, my all time favorite reindeer movie. No mat...

Outings With Mrs. K
Posted by Jamie Kovacs on Friday, December 5, 2014,
So we were talking about a December outing prior to Long Lake. The kids came up with the idea of skating on the pond. We talked about dates and came up with December 12, next Friday. The plan would be to order pizza, bring snacks and drinks for yourself or to share, and then skate from after school until 5:00 or 5:30. I checked the forecast and am a bit concerned that it might be too warm to skate that day. It is supposed to be 41. However, they are NEVER right and by 4 it will probably...

Lots of Missing Work Makes Me Sad: I don't want to be the Homework Police
Posted by Jamie Kovacs on Tuesday, December 2, 2014,
The "I didn't get it done" bug has infested this room. We have kids who need to 1. finish their trip memoir, 2. turn in their reading calendar, 3. do their book project, 4. turn in their Long Lake forms. YIKES!!
Today we got lit circle books and packets. The books are all survival books about kids who live outdoors and survive. We are reading them to gear up for Long Lake. Mentally prepare to be outside all day!! We will be reading our books in our habitats. Fun stuff.
