Gym Classes

We have had changes to our gym schedule! Our class will be going to gym every Thursday. Please send the children with sneakers on Thursday's. Mr.Seifers, our gym teacher was on a field trip today so we did not have gym today.

Fun And Fancy Friday!

Fridays are always everyone's favorite day of the school week. We look forward to fun activities and of course free choice centers. During free choice centers, children choose their own centers to go to! During snack, I shared Triscuit crackers with the class in celebration of learning "tr" blend words. The students were excited to taste the yummy treat. After comparing and contrasting the characters Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy, we made fancy pointers using craft sticks and fancy gems! The students used the pointers to help them read their books and couldn't wait to read the room with their new fancy pointers! Oh yes, almost forgot to mention....some of us got a visit from the "Desk Fairy" after lunch. She gave stickers to the children with neat and organized desks! We don't know when she will be visiting us again but we do know that we will be ready with neat desks from now on!

Pinkalicious is...

Look what we learned about Pinkalicious last week!

We Are On The Reading Railroad!

We learned about words that begin with the "tr" blend. We listened to the book Freight Train and made our own trains in class! For our writing unit, we have been writing about things that we are interested in. Michael is very interested in Trucks and so he wrote a book about trucks. What a coincidence...we have been learning about the tr blend and how writers write about things that interest them! We discussed why we think Michael wrote the book and we listened to the book. Thanks to Michael, we learned a lot about trucks!
