Apples!

 

We studied about apples this week, and these are a few pictures from our apple tasting and apple art!

Community Helpers

This week, we have been studying community helpers!  Finley's dad works for the Wildlife Agency and came to talk to us and show us some cool animal pelts and skulls!  Thank you, Mr. Jeff!!!

Pizza Friday!

To go along with our pizza bulletin board and unit on the five senses, we had Pizza Friday!  We did lots of fun pizza activities, including our favorite topping graph, Pizza Pie poem, and of course, making our own pizzas!!!

High school students reading to my class

These are students who are taking speech class. They are reading books to my students to work on their oral expression. My kids loved it!

The scoreboard is just for decoration! The tennis rackets are my birthdays, and the basketball poster is my AR chart.

Back to school bulletin board

First Grade pizzeria!! This is the board in the hallway between our two first grade classrooms! Each class has its own pizza, with the student names on the pepperonis! We are not quite finished, because we are going to take pictures of our students next week with a chef hat on, and we will add those to the board! I will post another picture then! I can't wait for our kids to see this board!!

Hi ho, it's back to school we go!

Well, I have about two weeks till I start back to school with inservice! And what have I been doing?? Of course, working on school stuff!! After 11 years of using frogs for my classroom theme, I am changing to sports! I love sports and I am a basketball coach, so it's only appropriate! But that means I have a million things to change in my room and I am trying to make everything instead of spending a lot of money at a teacher store (especially since the one in my town closed)! Although I did spend a little money at Hobby Lobby! But I am very excited about everything I am making! I have already finished my desk name plates, and I am about done with my helper board and AR chart! Still lots to do, including getting my room set up! Ahhhhh! I will try and post pictures soon!

Well, tomorrow is the last day of school! Thankfully, I have finished my memory books! After about 32 pages of pictures and about that many pieces of work saved from the year, I am worn out!! Even though they are a lot of work, I love making them, and I can't wait for the kids to see them tomorrow! I still have a few pictures to post, but that may have to wait till the weekend! Now I have to complete permanent records and get everything put up in my room! By the way, my co-worker and I are planning to completely redo our curriculum and go to a more thematic system, especially with reading! If anyone has any great ideas that will help us as we take on this huge endeavor, please let me know! I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day!! I, unfortunately, am fighting a bad cold today! I think I have a sinus infection, but who has time to be sick at the end of the school year! So although I didn't feel like getting out of the house today, I spent most of my time working on my end of the year scrapbooks! I don't know why I always wait so long to get started but thankfully, I am almost finished! I have some pictures of recent activities to post. Hopefully, I will get them on here in the next few days! Only eight days of school left for me!! How about you??
