They stayed together, answered when I called out their names, and sat very well while we were in the gym.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They did have questions on whether or not it was a drill or if it was real and how long we had to stay there.  I was honest with them and told them that there was a storm coming and we were going to the gym to stay safe until it was over.  I am happy to report that they all stayed calm.  No one became worked up or got upset.  Most importantly there were no tears and no complaining!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We practiced this drill earlier in the year and everyone knew what to do.

Here's the information you'll need.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2009 Prom Dress Extravaganza has been set for February 6 &amp; 7th at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Bloomfield. Last year over 50 dresses were sold and $2000 raised for the American Cancer Society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone may consign a "gently worn" formal gown for a $5 hanging fee per dress ($25 maximum). Then, if the dress sells the consignor donates 15% of the sale price to the American Cancer Society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drop off dates for dresses are Wednesday and Thursday, February 4 &amp; 5, from 4:00-7:00 pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shopping hours will be Friday, February 6, from 4-8 pm and Saturday, February 7, 10:00-3:00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pick-up dresses Monday, February 9th, 4:00-7:00 or make other arrangements.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8155990505191898264-1212295980549210490?l=blairkindergarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blairkindergarten.blogspot.com/feeds/1212295980549210490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8155990505191898264&amp;postID=1212295980549210490&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8155990505191898264/posts/default/1212295980549210490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8155990505191898264/posts/default/1212295980549210490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blairkindergarten.blogspot.com/2009/01/prom-dress-extravaganza.html' title='Prom Dress Extravaganza'/><author><name>Mrs. Bliair's Kindercats</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00820079884494159110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8155990505191898264.post-6652901521439208128</id><published>2009-01-05T12:14:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-05T12:17:41.900-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Weekly Newsletter</title><content type='html'>Mrs. Blair's Kindercat News&lt;br /&gt;January 5-9, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading&lt;br /&gt;Our story of the week is Farfillina and Marcel.

The kids were so well behaved and we couldn't have asked for a prettier day.  I have to say that it was the best field trip I've been on in my 11 years of teaching.  It was actually scary how smoothly things ran. We were complemented on the having the students wear red shirts.  It really helped us keep up with our group. Please check out our slide show.  You couldn't have wiped any of our smiles off.  I hope you enjoy watching it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Special thanks to Mrs. Wilson and Miss Temples for assisting us on our trip.  As you will see from the pictures it was really hard work! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=7129297f71d88b362c425c" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&amp;p=7129297f71d88b362c425c&amp;skin_id=701&amp;host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_player_link?p=7129297f71d88b362c425c&amp;skin_id=701&amp;source=emplay" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_player_link_image/7129297f71d88b362c425c/701.gif" style="border:0px;" width="408" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&amp;utm_source=emplay&amp;utm_medium=txt0" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;"&gt;Make photo slide shows at &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;www.OneTrueMedia.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8155990505191898264-3168784472237952380?l=blairkindergarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blairkindergarten.blogspot.com/feeds/3168784472237952380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8155990505191898264&amp;postID=3168784472237952380&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8155990505191898264/posts/default/3168784472237952380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8155990505191898264/posts/default/3168784472237952380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blairkindergarten.blogspot.com/2008/10/our-first-field-trip.html' title='Our First Field Trip'/><author><name>Mrs. Bliair's Kindercats</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00820079884494159110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8155990505191898264.post-3864774233270444250</id><published>2008-09-29T12:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T12:01:17.660-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Weekly Newsletter</title><content type='html'>Mrs. Blair's Kindercat News&lt;br /&gt;September 29 - October 3, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading&lt;br /&gt;Our story of the week is Dig, Dig, Digging.

This is just one more way for me to help you stay informed and give you a little glimpse into our day.  I am doing my best to help your child enjoy their Kindergarten year and learn to their fullest potential.  I have high expectations for my students and I want to take them as far as they can go educationally.  Not to mention that we have a lot of fun along the way.   Please feel free to post any comments you may have.
