On Tuesday I brought my favorite treat, pickles. Some students chose not to eat them, but those who did, loved them! I thoroughly enjoy a "Pickle on a Stick!"

Our Wordles!

We made these on www.wordle.net! They are words that describe who we are or what we like!

Brr...It's cold outside!

Sorry this so very late. It seems as though a very cold Tuesday start got me a little off balance.

High Five For Fairness

Today we had our High Five For Fairness march. We marched around chanting, "High Five For Fairness" and "1,2,3,4, Fairness, Fairness." It was a wonderful reminder to be fair to each other. Here are some pictures from the event:

High Five 2

High Five 3

High Five 4

Be sure to ask your child about it and how they have learned to be fair!


Friendly Letters

My students have been working on friendly letters throughout the past six weeks. This week we wrote a friendly letter, had it proofread, wrote a final draft, and recorded our letters on the iPad. Here are our recordings!

What a week!

It is a busy week this week with Quarter 2 ending. The week is full of assessments and sorts, but I know all students are prepared! Please help your child by having them get plenty of rest and eat great meals. Thanks in advance!
 
Just a note, I will be out of the classroom on Tuesday, but I have a wonderful substitute teacher in my place.
