We Have Been Busy...

National Wear Red Day...

We discussed how to keep our hearts healthy every day and especially on Friday, February 6th in honor of National Wear Red Day to support The American Heart Association.  We discussed ways to keep our hearts healthy... the students came up with some great examples like eating the right food, drinking water and milk, excercising and getting enough sleep and finally by not smoking.  Here is a class picture of us in our RED...

The Holidays Were in the Air...

We had an amazing winter party.  The cookies, crafts and hot cocoa were a big hit! A huge thank you to all the parents who came to help and or contributed to the party.    Look at all the moms, dads and siblings that came to hep us celebrate!!!

Here's a look at the cookies... yummy!!!!

A very special thank you to all the parents who contributed to my class gift or purchased a gift for me on their own.  I am very lucky to have such amazing parents in my room.  I loved each and every present!  I  also can't wait to go shopping which is one of my favorite things to do!!!!


I hope everyone is having a wonderful vacation and had a Happy New Year!  See you all soon!!

XOXO

More Birthdays and Awards!

We have been busy by celebrating a lot of December babies.  Happy Birthday girls!!!

Wiggle Breaks continue to be a huge hit!  Room 10 has many talented dancers!

Here are some trophy winners for excellent behavior!  Way to go I am so proud of you both!

Science

The students continue to learn about Air and Weather... The students learned about air and bubbles by going outside to blow some bubbles.  They learned that air is inside a buble and we can tell what direction the wind is blowing by looking at the direction in which the bubbles move.  The students loved the lesson!   

Guess Who Made An Appearance?

Jingles (named by the students) made an appearance in the classroom.  Jingles is here to see who can follow the 4 school rules.  Jingles wants to make sure the students in room 10 are working hard, being responsible, being respectful and being safe.  Here are a few places we caught Jingles hiding.  The students look foward to finding Jingles every day!  I wonder where he will hide next?

Thanksgiving Activities

The students had an amazing time during our Thanksgiving craft and snack party!  A special thank you to all the parents who contributed to the party and who came to help out.  The students did a fantastic job on their turkey cookies.  Just take a look at a sample of the adorable cookies.  The handprint craft was also a huge success. What a special keepsake...

The students also had fun retelling the story of the First Thanksgiving with their retelling beads.  Ask your child to retell the story to you at home!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families.  I certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year and every year!

Last Week..

Field Trip...

We went on our first field trip to the library next door.  The students were so well behaved that we were invited back! Look how attentive the class was when they were listening to the stories!  They truly enjoyed their visit to the library!  

A special thank you to all the parents who filled out the application for their chid's very own library card.  I will be sending home the library cards soon and make sure you plan a visit to the library with your child soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMERON and TEDDY!  

We even had Teddy's mom read a book in honor of Teddy's special day!

Wiggle Breaks...

The students loved dancing to the songs this week.  They are so adorable to watch!

Math...

We have been learning about money this week.  The students have been busy counting and adding pennies, nickels and dimes together.  We even took a break and listened to the money rap song.  The students loved it!!

Reading...

We spent a lot of time this week working on retelling.  The students were asked to retell the story The Great Gracie Chase Stop that Dog!, Little Red Riding Hood and The Art Lesson.  Look at the amazing job they did working so hard.
