Wow! Thursday

I can't believe tomorrow will be Thursday!  These short weeks always get me out of sorts!

I thought you might like to see our morning in action!  Two buddies making sure they are ready for the day! Helping each other out!

Owen has something important to give to one of his classroom friends, Samantha.

Speaking of Samantha, she will be leaving us on Friday.  If anyone has their valentines ready and would like to send hers in...It might be a nice way to send her off! We are very sad to see her go!


Boosterthon Rewards: Last Friday we enjoyed a couple of our booserthon rewards...can you guess what they were? PJ Day, Popcorn Party (thank you Mrs. Sheppard for popping without much notice) and movie day.

We still have some rewards to collect...Extra Recess and ice cream party! We are looking forward to it!

Top Dog:

Charlie and Lola books...one of our favorite series right now!

We started our CBA #3 today.  This student has the right idea, using manipulative to help find and answer!

And a wonderful piece of writing today:
"A butterfly start like a cadupelr.  And then gos in to a cakoon. last but not lest the cakoon hatchis into a butaful umarrikin budrfli."

This piece has been peer edited however, revisions have not been made throughout yet! I love what is happening during our workshop time!

I felt my typing of the piece did not do it justice.  You needed to see the picture and the editing that these first graders are doing on their own!  You should see details that the editor thinks should be added, circled words for misspellings and words added for clarification!  Not only is the writing wonderful but we need to celebrate the editing as well!

Enjoy your evening!
