Picture Day

Did you know that Mrs. Buckless has written a book called Class Picture Day ? She read it to our class today and talked about being a writer. It is a very cute and funny book, that we all enjoyed! She gave me an autographed copy for us to read in our classroom! SHe has written other books, too. It was exciting to see her published book.

Compliment Chain

The compliment chain hit the floor today!! Judd counted the links and said there are 49 links on the chain! The children voted to have a pajama day AND a Magic School Bus video as their reward. This will be on Friday. Please praise your child for working together as a team to earn 49 compliments!

We compared ourselves to our book buddies and made venn diagrams!

Another Venn diagram

Today we made venn diagrams with hula hoops. Here we show animals that fly and animals that swim. We think that a duck and flamingo can do both. (even if the flamingo can't fly much).

Here is a link to our at home reading program. There are so many books in this computer library. Have fun and read a lot!

Open House

We had 13 families represented at Open house last night. Thanks to all the parents who came. The children LOVED reading the notes you wrote in their journals!

Venn Diagram

Look how Shanita and I are alike and different! It is hard to read but the differences are white/black, big/little;glasses/no glasses;brown hair/black hair; no missing teeth/missing teeth; teacher/student;adult/child. Here is how we are the same; girls, American, have families, mammals, happy, like to read.

Tomorrow, we will compare and contrast ourselves and our book buddies.

Da Bomb!

Last week, Mrs Rohrer brought my class back from PE and said that we needed to improve our listening and following directions skills. Yesterday, she brought them back from class and said we are "Da Bomb"! I am very proud of this! We are collecting compliments so that we can earn a SPECIAL reward! Our compliment chain is getting long!

Sheraine

Today was Sheraine's last day at Stone, because her family is moving. Ms. Field, Shanita's mom, baked a cake, to make her last day special. We all enjoyed the cake. We asked Sheraine to write to us and we will write back to her. We hope to be pen pals! Maybe Sheraine will even watch our blog to see what we are doing and to keep up with her friends!

Look at these cute babies!!!

Johanna made this cute poster for us with the baby pictures that were brought in. It is on display in the hall beside our room. The photos are adorable and it is fun to guess who's who! There is an answer sheet posted next to the poster so you can check your guesses. This will be on display during Open House for you to ennjoy. Then I will take the photos off and return them. Thanks for sharing them with us! We had fun guessing in class today!

Sheraine

We will be losing Sheraine at the end of this week. Her family is moving to New York. We will make cards for her tomorrow and we will certainly miss her.

Open House

Open House is Mon. Sept 14 at 6:30. There will be a general meeting iin the cafeteria. Mr Holliday will introduce the faculty there, and then everyone will be able to go visit the classrooms. This is not time for conferences. It is a time to see the classroom, some of your child's work and hear about our class activities. There will be a sign up sheet for individual conferences. Hope to see you there.
