Never forget your punctuation marks! The Punctation-Fairy will not come....

Retaining Our Sight-Words Through Our 5 Senses...

Technology despite what people believe, is an absolute necessary skill.

Boys when I say smile, play it cool...ok? :-)

Thank you for always trying your hardest! xo

Here we come nonfiction!!!!!! Cannot wait to start writing!

October was an amazing month...

Fun Friday Exploration Time...

This is a time we talk, share and communicate! It is greatly needed and sometimes forgotten. 

What have you done with Jessie?

I love this smile...

I think they're are having fun? ;-/

OK so we tried to make the party healthy.... ha!

The most handsome zombie that ever lived....

These kids make me smile every single day!

SILLY FACES!

Children need to learn to LOVE to read. I try to instill that in them. Here we see some buddy reading. Reading with a friend is something we love to do.

We incorporate technology daily in the classroom. This generation needs to have a great understanding in this area. As the year progresses the students will write research papers and the web will be a source for much of their research findings.

 

Here we are working hard at explain and drawing the Life Cycle of a pumpkin.... We often work in small groups and in small partnerships.

Students communicate their thoughts and ideas.

We really had fun sorting...Ask your child all about the life cycle of a pumpkin....

This was challenging some students worked on the life cycle of a pumpkin unscrambling the steps and placing them in order.

We received a CARE-COIN for their amazing work in the hallway. I was so impressed!!!!! 

After hearing a story about the life cycle of a pumpkin we put the pictures in order with partners and drew the life cycle of a pumpkin.... 

Fun pointers that make reading exciting!

My STUDENT OF THE MONTH!!!!!! WHEN HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!!!! 

I love watching the children work in partnerships. It is important to learn how to communicate and work as a team.

The children used counting cubes and yarn to measure the circumference of the pumpkin. Two students also used tape measures and inches.

That's a lot of seeds! On Monday we will sort by 10's and count them. Someone guessed 510 seeds. He may be close?

The children did an excellent job separating the seeds from the guts.

We have begun an exciting unit on pumpkins. Here we are using many of our five senses to gut the inside of a pumpkin. We made estimated guesses of how many seeds were inside. A funny guess was 10.

This is a place where we can peak inside our children's classroom. We can explore all of the learning that goes on in a day. Please come visit with your children. I am so sure that they would love to explain what they are doing. Gone will be the days of, "What did you do all day?" with the reply of "Oh, nothing." Come visit my sweeties, and ask away!!!!
