My Eyes are Crossing...

I'm not sure if I'm coming or going some days! 

I'm not sure you've ever seen what we do RIGHT when we come into our classroom!  You've heard about sunshine folders and we've added word work/spelling practice to our morning routine...then we choose workstations for the day and have a few minutes of self selected reading time! There is no better way to start a day than like this!  This is why I love what I do!

Today the our Red Ribbon Assembly (High Flyers Trampolinists) was cancelled...but last minute PTA found us a Magician! Fun Times!  Sorry for the quality...I was zoomed in as much as I could and I wasn't that far back!(blame it on camera quality)

Fun was had while learning about character traits!

Yee HAW...I got a short video of our noun sorting activity! (now if it would upload already!)

TOP DOG THURSDAY
I am SO, SO, SO upset with myself... I will not be on duty on Thursdays and today was Owen's special lunch with his Grandma from Idaho! I didn't get a photo! Please see yesterday's video with Grandma Russell! But I KNOW Owen was THRILLED to have you here. Please come back and visit whenever you are in town!

LIVE ON 313...

I PROMISE...I don't make anyone do this that doesn't want to...Our weather man today is a bit shy I think!

MATH
Today we read A Quarter From the Tooth Fairy (little did we know Jack was going to loose his tooth today)! The tooth fairy left a quarter under the little boys pillow...(hmmm? sounds a bit low but hey what do I know?)
He buys a monster from Mary and finds out it's just not a good fit so he takes it back and gets his money back but it's not a quarter it's a nickel and 2 dimes.  He does this several times and NEVER gets that single quarter back!  We got to see there were a lot of ways to make 25 cents.

Your pup should have a worksheet that came home...we left some blanks to see if there were any MORE ways they could think of to make 25 cents!  Try this with a dime...or even a 50 cent piece (for those ADVANCED learners...cause I've got them in here)!

SCIENCE
We did a little assessment to finish up magnets! 
Can you identify the magnets?
What are magnets attracted to? (multiple choice)
Diagram or write about another object that is attracted to a magnet.
Everyone did great!

And...
Look what's going on with PUPS outside of the classroom! Thanks, moms for sending these in!

And with those SMILES...I'm already looking forward to tomorrow!  But this teacher needs some sleep! Not sure why 2:30-3:00 has been my wake up time the past few days!  UGG...Enjoy your evening...Tomorrow is Friday!
