Pow Wow 2013!

What a great Pow Wow we had this year.  After learning about the Nez Perce over a couple weeks we ended it all with Family Night and our Pow Wow ceremony.  We loved that so many families were able to come and watch.  Here are a couple pictures to highlight the day. 

Literary Parade

What a fabulous day we had on Friday.  The Literary Parade was a huge success and the kids looked amazing.  Love to see them dressed as some of their favorite characters.  Here is a video of the parade in case you missed it.  Our class is on about the 7 minute mark.

An Amaizing Field Trip

We had a great time at Connors Amaizing Acres today.  Hope to post pics this week.  This is the sign of a good time.

Book Fair

This week the book fair begins.  We are  often asked for titles of books we would like for our classroom.  Here are some

books we would really enjoy having. 

It was a Busy Week

This week we practiced our retelling in class each day.  The kids love when we get to use the big puppets!  

In science we have been learning about tools that scientists use.  The kids loved using the balance to weigh and compare different classroom items. 

If you didn't make it to Open House then find a few minutes this week to drop by and see our Standards Based Bulletin Board outside our classroom.  It will give you a glimpse into our busy skills block.  

Star Books

Over the last couple weeks we have been reading our Star Books such as Caps for Sale and The 3 Billy Goats Goats.  Students  practice retelling the stories with partners, acting it out, pictures, and puppets.  These activities will help them with the pre-reading skills needed to become a good reader.
