Remind App

I love using the Remind app on my phone! It is a great way to communicate with families and keep them informed of upcoming events.  If you haven't tried it yet, or your child's teacher does not sure it, let them know about it! The best part..it is FREE!

We "Love" Writing!

I got a chance to snap a few pictures as the kids were writing today, I didn't get to get to everyone but I hope for more soon. They were writing about things they love. 

The King of "ing" Day!

It was the king of "ing" day in our classroom (we were introduced to the "ing" chunk) 

I greeted the class at the door dressed up in my crown and robe with a enthusiastic "good mornING" 

Everyone wanted to take a"selfie" with the king

 

We made a list of words we could think of that have the "ing" sound

 But then we discovered that the king was lost and we had to go on a search because the king was lost and couldn't find his kingdom! Luckily we had a map to follow that took us all around the building to find "ing" words. 

Finally we wrote our own "ing" words, sang some songs and made a crown so we could all be the king of "ing" for the day!

To sing the songs at home check out these links:

Giving to Santa

Today we read a few Christmas books and one of the themes was giving back, so the kids wrote about what they would give to Santa! Check out the amazing writing from Ty! Great work! It was great to hear all of the ideas they had, from giving him pets to giving him toys, ask your child what they wrote about today. 

Field Trip: Farm to Table

We had an AMAZING field trip today! The Farm to Table program was so organized, the kids were hands on, made some great projects and learned great new facts! Here are some pictures. Everything from milking a cow, making paper to frosty tag!
