ICE SKATING INSIDE???

Yep, the Guppies found a way to bring the ice inside! With the help of Ms. Terrie and using paper plates as skates, the Guppies whisked up and down the hallways of Emerson. I tried to stay out of the way of those speed demons! By the way...excuse the dorky laugh of the camera woman!! Enjoy! -- Duke

Celebrating Chinese New Year



Today, the Turtles celebrated the Chinese New Year! Learning to use chop sticks was a challenge, but making tea leaf paint was a hit! Also on the agenda today is sampling Chinese style foods during snack-time, learning about Chinese lifestyles from Ms. JoAnne, who lived in China for six months, and reading lots of stories about Dragon Dances and many other Chinese traditions. Ever loyal and faithful -- Duke.

Closure Information

Please remember to check RRISD's website for school closure information. If Round Rock ISD cancels classes tomorrow, February 4, Emerson will be also close for the day. Stay warm everyone!!
