Happy New Year

~I hope everyone is enjoying their break!  I just finished reading my second book of vacation.  I cannot wait to get back to the warm weather of Florida and out of the snow!  Mrs. Goodman and Mr. G will both be running in the Jacksonville Marathon on December 29th........ maybe we will see you out there!  Hopefully most of you have kept up with your reading!  I am really proud of all of you and how much you have read so far this year!  We have never had this many students earn this many AR points so early in the year!  Way to go Goodyapes, Gibbyapes, and Hollowapes!  Happy New Year!  Keep up the good work.... or make a resolution to be better!

Christmas & Winter in Massachusetts

 All of the Gibbons family gathered in Wilmington, Massachusetts at my brother Danny's house...ten miles from Boston on Christmas Eve.  We enjoyed food, gifts, music, family, and made new memories.  Santa Claus even came!  There were over 50 Gibbons family members gathered to celebrate the holiday!  And it was COOOOOOOOOOLD!  The temperature got down to 9 degrees!

Last Day Before Christmas Break

~Here are some more pictures of our last day together before the holidays..... Polar Express has become an awesome tradition at Beauclerc!.  I hope everyone has a safe  and enjoyable holiday.  Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate Christmas!

READING REWARDS!

 ~We read some form Milkweed, (where things are becoming desperate , took some AR tests, did some independent reading.... After that, we had a Holiday Sing-a-long with Mrs. Laymon and Mrs. Manabat!  As a reward for all those  students who have read their ten books, we had an all you can eat Spaghetti and Dessert Buffet.  All the Apes learned what Pickle Swap is all about!  To see more pictures from December 17, click on Holiday Pics in the above Tab Buttons!
