Friday...

I guess it's okay to tell you...a four day week sometimes feels like a 14 day week (the older I get)!  But it's over and we all had an overall GREAT, AMAZING, FANTASTIC week!  I think I'll come back tomorrow (no that wasn't a typo) AND next week!

Like I said yesterday... A LOT of FIRSTS today!

8:00 and we headed to the library..."Do we get to check out books? Yes! YAAAAYYY!" But first Mrs. Biamonte read a story about how NOT to take care of books.  Let's not have them at the breakfast table. Some raspberry jam might get spilled on it! Let's not take them in the bathroom...they might fall into the bathtub or get some toothpaste on them! Let's not let our little brother's and sister get their hands on them...they might color in them or even RIP them! 

After our story we were allowed to pick from some specially selected (by Mrs. Biamonte) books.  We will learn more about shelf markers and choosing off the shelves next week! ANDDDDD....THENNNNN...it was time to remember those id numbers! WEEELLLLL...we had a few the knew them! WOO HOO and we had a WHOLE bunch who are still working on it! YAY for them.  Check out took a little longer than it normally will once we learn those numbers!

At 8:45 we had some "free" time.  Ms. Moore read a very special book about Grandparent's Day.  And then we made special cards for those special people in our lives!

Hooray For Grandparents Day!

Ms. Moore helped us paint our hands

Mayson was practicing making his heart!

Our finished products!

Sweet little hands!

At 9:30 we headed to the computer pod to take our first istation assessment...GUESS what? We needed that id number AGAIN!  (This time I had cards ready to go in their head phone bags with id number and password).  We got logged in and got started!

Wow! Look at those learners!

10:20 came fast and it was time for recess and lunch...and we couldn't WAIT til lunch...We had visitors GALORE!  Look at these special people!

THANKS to everyone who came and "lunched" with us today!  It made Grandparent's Day one to remember! After lunch we had to go RIGHT to specials! 

12:20 we came back into the classroom read some Ready Freddy and used the bathroom...We still had some time so we used our names to compare! We will continue to work on this and maybe even do some graphing next week! Before we knew it. It was almost 1:15 and we needed to be in Pod 3 (Mrs. Cizdziel's  room) for book buddies! So we quickly got packed up (with our library book and our grandparent's card safely tucked away in our backpacks), had a QUICK bite of our snack and made our way to the other end of the building!

We met our 4th grade book buddies spread out and had sometime to get to know one another! We will look forward to this time each week! 

 WHEW...can we fit ANYMORE into our day? YEP YOU BETCHA...we can fit in our first Robertson Round-Up of the year! We fit about a million K-5 (not really a million but it sure did sound like it) students in the cafeteria.  I just have to brag a bit about my pups! They were AMAZING...sitting on pockets...listening and respecting the speakers...
Birthday pencils were given out to those that had birthdays in August and to those that will have birthdays in September.  Then our HIPPEST IN THE HOUSE was recognized for RESPONSIBILITY (know what needs to be done and GETTING IT DONE)!  

Congratulations to our "Responsible" Eliette!

AND...with that...I'm DONE FOR THE DAY! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and again...I thank you for sharing your sweet pup with me!
