Lets Spell....and Ship Change


 Thursday we practiced our Spelling Words, but playing student/teacher....one calls the words the other spells and then they switch....THEY LOVE IT!!!!
 
 We made these cute sequencing things using the story There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Pie
 
 Check out Matthew using his reading strategies.....if you look close his eyes are glancing at the pictures to make sure that he knows the word he is about to read....AMAZING!!!!
 
Today we pulled up different kinds of boats to see if the Mayflower may have looked like any of these.....then we played agree or disagree and paired up with our partners to chat!!  Some GOOD learning going on up in here:)

Retro Cafe x2, Ole Miss Madness, Learning and some cuties!

Last week our class got to eat in the Retro CafĂ© 2 times!!!  This is huge people!!!  We have worked so hard on our dining room behavior so we are very lucky to go twice in a week!  I told the kids if we ever got it twice I would do a cartwheel in the room......I honestly didn't expect this to ever happen....sure enough it did!!!  I didn't disappoint!
This was so fun we had at the end of last week!!!  We voted on who would win the Razorback game.....Thanks to Olivia Bean for getting everyone on board to vote for her parents favorite team OLE MISS!!!!  Oh well, the best team won haha!!!
 
Also we wrote about what we were thankful for this Thanksgiving Season.....Neil wrote about how he was thankful for me.....MELT MY HEART!!!  We also did some work on the ipads during guided reading groups....these kids are reading machines!!!  We learned that when we don't have the answer to a question on what to investigate something further we can ask GOOGLE to help us!!!  We just have to make sure we spell things correctly:)

These too cuties came to show me a turkey they made in their kinder class!!!  They have Mrs. Hardin for their teachers and we are big buds!!!

TH is for Thinking Thumbs!!



Today we made thinking thumbs since all of our spelling words start or end with th!!!  The kids decorated their thumbs then they went around the room looking for words/objects that had a th sound in them!!  We listened to music while we made me these and got our brains ready for thinking....have them use their thinking thumbs tonight at home!!!  I posted a video in the previous post!
