What a great day...back in 313 where I belong. I had a wonderful visit with my youngest sister, Sarah and my two (out of state) god children, Thomas (aka Monkey) and Nora Christine (aka Kissi Bug)! They returned to the cold state of North Dakota yesterday and I'm already counting down the days until Thanksgiving break! I will be taking my mom and little Hankers up there for the first part of the week. We are HOPING for SNOW!
I guess the SUPER PUPS (hint of our BOOSTERTHON class name) did not want to meet Ms. Viola Swamp...we got RAVE reviews about our classroom behavior. EXACTLY what every teacher wants to hear. I already knew I had the most UH mazing class this just confirmed it!
So...this morning it took us a little bit of time to get back into the routine but we worked it all out! We needed to be reminded that when there are friends at the TT the rest of us need to use our very quietest voices or none at all...
We started talking about adjectives today and how they make our sentences SPARKLE! When your child is writing please encourage them to use adjectives to describe the nouns in their sentences! We are working on painting pictures in our reader's mind. Which leads right into reader's workshop...creating mental images.
Top Dog Tuesday!
Austin says he wants to be a teacher...LOOK at his MAD reading skills!
Math time today started out HARD...we had a TWO step word problem...WHEW...
Oliver had 11 shirts, Marcus had 5 fewer. How many shirts did they have altogether! If you would like to practice this type of problem...YEAH
Then we had a mystery to solve!!! Papa was missing from the families...so pairs of pups had to figure out what his "name" was and then fill in the houseful of problems!
Live on 313
After math it was time to get ready for BOOOOOOOSTERTHON! It's FUN RUN time!
Your child came home with a Highway USA pledge booklet...PLEASE VISIT Fun Run to start entering your child's pledges. This is the only schoolwide FUNdraiser Robertson PTA will be participating in this year! Please visit the site to see individual prizes your child can earn. There will be a SLIMING of
Mrs. Davis if we get pledges from all FIFTY states! So help us out...Please note as your child begins the process of getting pledges...each child will run between 25-35 laps! There are two pledging options a flat rate (to be paid no matter how many laps are run) and a PER LAP donation and the amount will be determined after the FUN RUN next Thursday!
Have a wonderful evening and start collecting pledges! I'm so happy to be back! LET'S GO SUPER PUPS!
