The Double Stuff Club!

We're smart, we're tough!

We know our Double Stuff!

Ugh!

Everyone in the class was able to pass off their doubles and earned the right to be in the Double Stuff Club!  So Thursday we had our Double Stuff Day!  We learned the 'proper' way to dip a double stuff oreo cookie, and had double the fun all afternoon.  We even learned how knowing our doubles can help us in subtraction too!

Our First Author's Celebration

This past Wednesday we had our first Author's Celebration!  The children each selected their favorite story that they've written this term and practiced reading it.  Then we invited parents in to be our audience.  They each took a turn showing their story through the projector and reading it into the microphone.  They were each so amazing!  The stories were impressive and entertaining!  I'm so proud of all their hard work!!!

Pajama & Movie Day!

 To culminate our Red Ribbon Week we had a movie day and could wear our pajamas to school!  What a fun, comfortable way to celebrate the fact that we've all promised to stay away from things that can harm our bodies!  Watching a movie with friends was way more fun than taking drugs would be!

Ancient Petroglyphs!!

We have had a blast learning about rocks and soil for the last 3 weeks in science.  This week we learned about how virtually everything we have comes from rocks or couldn't exist without rocks!  One interesting use of rocks was how the ancient Americans would write their stories on rocks.  Those pictures still exist today!  So we made our own petroglyphs  by carving our own stories into rock.  It was way fun!

Read-a-Thon for Red Ribbon Week

This week was Red Ribbon Week.  We discovered a lot of things that were better (and more fun) than taking drugs that would destroy our bodies and minds.  On Thursday we had a Read-A-Thon! That was definitely better than drugs & alcohol !
