         Greetings Everyone! This is a place where I'll post all sorts of classroom news. It could be about homework projects, coming events, visitors...anything! Click on the clipart to view the pictures.

We used raisins for manipulatives in math today. We were studying Doubles Facts. We couldn't eat the raisins until our lesson was done...tough for some of the kids to wait. Some of them wolfed down the whole box at once...sorry for any bathroom incidences : )

Meet Shirley, our mystery pet #2!

Library Field Trip 

Practice Field Trip Walk 

9-15-11 The kids were working today on science projects during centers. Painting a dinosaur habitat mural with Mrs. Tracey and cutting out leaves, flowers, rocks, etc. with Mrs. Thomas to add to make some parts of the mural 3-D. One of the boys working with me was encouraging a friend who couldn't decide what to do to join him in making a sun. When the second boy began cutting long yellow strips of paper for the rays of the sun, the first boy gave kind words of encouragement: "Good, nice job buddy!"
