Papa, Please Get the Moon

We have been reading books about the moon and sun and studying the night sky for science.
So we did a really fun art project based on the book, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle. There was painting, cutting, gluing, and popsicle sticks involved- it doesn't get much better than that!

After their hard word, the kids really wanted to bring their finished project home. But I wanted to hang them out in the hall for a few weeks first. So come see the finished product when you stop by the school, and they will come home soon enough :)

Fall Field Trip

We had such a fun fall field trip. It was cold, but at least we didn't get rained on!

A big thank you to the moms who braved the cold and came with us.

blog update

Just a quick note for anyone that is trying to look up our new spelling words or upcoming events. Blogger is having some sort of glitch and it is unable to save the updates I have made. I have been trying to update for a couple of weeks now. I promise have not been neglecting the blog and I will keep trying until it is fixed:)

Safety Week

We had so much fun during Safety Week!

The class earned their first class reward, so we went outside and did sidewalk chalk.

On Friday, the McGruff dog came to visit us and talk to us about being safe. The PTA also gave us cool police erasers.

Everyone wore green for Safety!

These are our "Be Safe" poses.

Peter Pan

We had had two great Fairy Tale Fridays! Last week we did Three Billy Goats Gruff. Hopefully your child brought hope their characters and retold the story at home.
This week we did Peter Pan. They were mesmerized by the story. Then we folded Peter Pan hats and had Pixie Dust for a track snack. So much fun!

Thanks to our wonderful moms for doing Fairy Tale Friday!

Recess Dance Party

The kids had so much fun during the recess dance party the school earned.

There was a huge line up of kids wanting to be lifted up by the older girls. Too bad the bell rang and we had to go in!

(I didn't think to take out my camera until it was almost over, so I only got a couple pictures.)

Technology!

We are loving the new technology that we have in our classroom this year! We received our Chromebooks from the local grant our school was rewarded. We also got three new KindleFire HD's from the District. Lots of reading and math practice happening!

We still love these old computers, even though they are older than the children are!

Friday Fun

We had our first day of grade level Friday Fun this afternoon. For the first month, your child gets to choose between Singing Time, Art, Drama Games, and Outside Games. Ask them what they did today... I hope they had fun!

First Week of School

We had a great first week of school. I am loving this class!

Here they are doing the Find-a-Friend Activity

Being silly ;)

Dance Festival

The last week of school is always such a blast. Field Day, pool party, dance festival, we have so much fun! I wish I had taken more pictures :0
Everyone looked so cute for our dance, The Barnyard Boogie.

Thanks for such a wonderful year!
