Are you ready to have a park next to Cordelia Hills School?

My wife has stepped up to help start the process of getting our Southbrook Community Park. She attended a Town Hall meeting on Saturday and found out that if we don't start moving on the process of financing the park now, the city could go ahead and move the park to the new Seeno location. So now is the time for us to come together as a community and fight for the park we want to have! She is organizing information right now, and hopes to have something to send home later this week. In the meantime, you can visit www.facebook.com/SaveSouthbrookCommunityPark to join in the efforts. Tell your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, everyone! We need to show solidarity at the next Town Hall meeting on March 31st at Cordelia Hills Elementary, so that the city officials see how serious we are. Hope you choose to help us get our park after so many years of waiting!! -Mr. Linnet

So Bummed!

After updating our blog yesterday at school, and getting excited about all the cool new games the kids can access in the links, I came home to let Skylar test it out. I pulled out our iPad, loaded the blog, then clicked on one of the new links. "This program cannot be accessed on this device. You need Adobe Flash Player to run this program. Adobe Flash Player is not supported on this device." WHAT?!? NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS DEVICE?!? So my great activities cannot be used on my iPad, EVER?!? Talk about a bummer!! At least I know that everything runs smoothly on a PC. I personally tested every link on my computer at work, everything came up and was available to play. I just thought I would share this disappointing discovery with all of you so that you don't make the same mistake I did. You can use your mobile devices to read the blog (iPad, iPhone, Tablet, etc.), but you should use your laptop or home computer to let your children access the links. I selected some pretty cool games this month, so I hope you all have fun exploring them!! -Mr. Linnet

Hope you are enjoying the 3-day weekends!!

We are enjoying a Monday off this week in honor of Abraham Lincoln. We dedicated most of Friday learning about our 16th President and why he was worthy of a National Holiday(at least in the eyes of public school systems). If you haven't already discussed Mr. Lincoln with your child, please take a moment out of the Dayton do so. Ask about Abraham Lincoln when he was little, what he loved, how he became President, and what he wanted to end during the Civil War? Next week will be a busy week with Valentines Day tomorrow, and a celebration of President George Washington on Friday. We have another 3-day weekend next week for what is officially Presidents Day. I'm looking forward to another short, but exciting week of school!!
