Hey All!

Isabelle scroll down and read our conversational thread. I think the information will help you.

Hope everyone is enjoying what the Holidays have to offer: sleeping and shopping!! Ashlee has sent me photos of her trip. Check it out you guys: simply amazing! I have expressed to Ashlee of how much we miss her and how we are excited to see her in the New Year.  Some of the pictures are just phenomenal. Way to Go Ashlee, You are super brave!!! Ashlee has included some captions of the photos

I wish I was a butterfly...free...flying...freedom. 

This guy came out of nowhere (thanks to GoPro!)

I took this blazing fire when I was piloting the plane looking for a place to land.

Oh so sweet!

These Siberian Tigers are endangered--so I decided to take them home to preserve their extinction

My personal alarm clock--almost took him out! 

Blown Away!

A very special thanks to you and your parents for all those wonderful, and heartfelt presents you've given me. I'm somewhat overwhelmed and sincerely appreciative--please give your parents a warm hug for me and express my sincerity and deep appreciation.

Two more sleeps and it will be Christmas morning! I hope you guys get everything you've asked for. Although Christmas/Holiday time isn't about the gifts, you will come to realize it's something more that you can't put a price tag on:  family.  It's about bonding with the people you love and who love you--it's really that simple.

I will continue to showcase our blogs to stay tuned...If you haven't started wrapping your presents: stop procrastinating. Ashlee will be sending us updates of her trip to the Amazon Rain Forest. I miss that kid!!!

Secret Santa and Party

Rachel we miss you--come back to us! We heard that you and Ashlee went to Beverly Hills. Wow, that's pretty classy. Anyway,  hope you guys are back tomorrow for our Secret Santa and Treats! Remember to bring games, cards and even puzzles if you wish tomorrow. If you're interested in playing chess, just remind me beforehand to grab a couple of chessboards from the library. Have a great evening and I will see you tomorrow morning, don't forget to be nice to each other and pay it forward. And let's pray for a Christmas miracle and make a special wish to see both Rachel and Ashlee on the last day of school before the Holiday Break.

Ashlee, Annabelle, Rachel

Girls are you not shopped out yet? Hurry back we miss you guys!!!  Book Review due tomorrow morning at 9:00 am (send to google classroom). Tomorrow we'll focus on essay writing with a wonderful example we found from the book, Twilight. Secret Santa is on Friday--bring in your gifts and food/drink choice.  Get your work done, enjoy your extracurricular activities, eat your broccoli and pay it forward.

Rachel, Annabelle, Ashlee

Hey Girls, I hope you feel better soon, miss you guys!!! Coincidently, we heard a rumor that both Rachel and Annabelle were picked up by Ashlee's private plane and flown to New York City, specifically 5th Ave. to go shopping. If that's true; you girls are so lucky!!!

Christmas Party right around the corner, bring your party goods and Secret Santa gift.  Thursday is due date for Book Review (I'm sure you all know that)

Thanks to Florence, Linda and Sonia's reminder I was able to do most of my Christmas shopping. Thanks girls!

Stay warm by downloading the fire place app or flicking it to the correct tv channel. Be nice to each other and pay it forward.

Secret Santa

Secret Santa is on Friday. Bring in your special gift. Also, bring in your treat. Book Reviews due Thursday.  If you finished your book review start an outline for your essay.  Have an extra warm evening. And let's say hi to Rachel and Ashlee who are casually shopping at 5th Ave. in New York City.
