Angry Verbs

Here are our Angry Verbs...yes, I know, they look like birds...but they are Angry Verbs. 

We have been talking about different kinds of verbs.  Students tend to just think about just action verbs.  However, there are those tiny little linking verbs like is, are, and am.  Then there are helping and main verbs when two verbs are paired together, for example, is jumping.  On our birds students had to write a sentence, identify the verb, then tell me what type of verb.  Of course, I had their attention when I pulled out the Angry Birds.  This is not a game that I know...but anything to get their attention!  They have also gotten a lot of attention hanging in the hallway.  I hope you enjoy them!

Thank you for supporting your child with their multiplication facts.  We are doing a good job earning our root beer floats!!

Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know it is hard to beleive, but our class is certainly buzzing with the excitement of our party coming!  It is such a fun day for kids, and I love watching them open their cards and reading their messages!  And oh the candy!!  Makes my teeth hurt just thinking about the candy!  Thank you to all parents who volunteered to help or donated items for our party today!  I hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

Shadow Puppets

We had an interesting day in Science today.  They actually had the chance to make hand puppets!  I mean they may try to sneak one in here or there while I am not looking and the projector is on, but today I actually LET them...encouraged them even!  We were learning about light and exploring reflection, refraction, and shadows.  Let me just say, we have some very talented shadow puppeteers!  I was trying to figure out how I could get a picture of this to post...if you have any ideas let me know, but the light was just reflecting off of the camera.  I had a few different strategies with no luck.  I think they had a fun day of learning!!

Line Art



Here are some samples of our Line Art that is hanging in the hallway.  I hope to post more later!
