  Let me thank all of you for the wonderful gifts you gave me

 … and for the gift that each of you is in my life!

Have a wonderful break and I will see you in 2012.

The End of Semester Winter Celebration!

Norfolk Middle School marked the end of the first semester with a winter celebration in the school gymnasium.  Students faced off in a series of games against each other.  Room 102 rallied for the back-to-back push up competition.

Over 70 students at the assembly walked away with a treat. Prizes were given out by drawing names from a hat. It was a perfect way to end the semester and to reward all the hard work students put in over the last few months to make the semester as successful as it was!

Back in the classroom EVERY student received a prize. Javier distributed the scented pencils from the PTA. Fun was had by all.

Parent Post

This generation of students is more likely to be armed with cell phones, laptops, and iPods than with spiral notebooks and No. 2 pencils. Kids are high tech. They like electronics -- it's speaking their language.

Education is changing. Today Room 102 questioned a typical school day in the life of parents. We're curious about  your best memories of a school day. Was there technology?  Favorite book?  What could you tell us about your school memories?

Thanks for commenting!
