We had a great last day and a half of school! For our final balloon popping, we went downtown for a treat. Although there had to be a last minute change of plans, the students loved the ice cream from Clara's. Thank you to Clara's for our last minute visit. It was so appreciated! After ice cream, the class enjoyed the beautiful afternoon at the park.
One of our last writing projects was nonfiction research and writing. The students enjoyed researching an animal and putting together their information in a final book. We started our research by taking notes on the topics of what the animal looks like, the habitat, what the animal eats, and fun facts. We put our notes into complete sentences. We wrote our complete sentences into our books. We ended with a page about the author. This class did a wonderful job on their nonfiction writing!
On Friday we popped the balloon for classroom bumper seats. The students got to pick out their own seats for the day which they love doing!
We popped the balloon for lunch and dance party in the classroom today. It's always a special treat to eat lunch in the classroom and to add music and dancing on top of that is so fun for the kids!
1) I am a male.
2) I've had Mrs. Howard as a teacher.
3) I like to paint.
A couple students thought it might be their older brothers or possibly a cousin. When this student walked in the door, little brother wasn't surprised. He said the clue about painting gave it away. His brother loves to paint! He's also a great singer, as he shared with us in the book "Happy!" by Pharrell Williams. Thanks so much for being a mystery reader!
Today the students popped a balloon for marker day! Each student picked out a special smelly marker to use on their assignments throughout the day. They also get to keep the marker! It's a fun treat to use markers for our schoolwork!
The students were so excited to hear that they could chew gum throughout their school day! Each student received a small bag with 4 pieces of gum that they could decide throughout the day when to chew. We also delivered our senior letters today which was so fun! A few of us have even received letters back.
