Spring...Where are you?

We created these "Works of Art" yesterday in preparation for the 1st Day of Spring!  Hello, Spring, where are you?  It has been a long, cold winter and I am ready for some nice weather.  How about you?  Apparently, Spring did not get the same message!  Well, enjoy looking at these beautiful irises until you can see the real thing!

 

*I have not forgotten the Animal Power Point Presentations.  I am still working on these.

Dr. Seuss and Help (Anyone?!)

Well, I am still working on getting the Animal Power Point Presentations ready to post.  I have loaded them into Google Docs but am having difficulty getting the embed code so they will appear on a blog post.  Can anyone help?  I have scoped the web, and it seems that the code should be 'right there' but it is not!  I am determined though! 

 

In the meantime, here are some Dr. Seuss-like fish for you to check out!  I just love Dr. Seuss.  So many books teaching kids how to read!  My favorite is Oh, The Places You'll Go.  I don't think I read this book until about 5 years ago...but it could have taught me a meaningful lesson or two along life's bumpy road!  What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book?  Dr. Seuss's birthday was March 2nd so we created these fish to honor him!  Enjoy!

 

 



Rock the ISATs!

Tomorrow will be the first day of our ISAT Tests!  I told the darlings that we have worked hard all year and it is time to "Show what you know!"  To help your child do their best, please be sure they get a good nights rest and a healthy breakfast to get their brains alert!  They may not know EVERY question on the test.  Some questions may seem easy...some questions may seem hard!  I encourage them to take their time, use the strategies we have talked about and TRY THEIR BEST!  And no matter what, I will be proud!!

 

Here is the poster that will appear on our during during test time!

 

 

Animal Extravanganza

 

Students gave their animal presentations during our Animal Extravaganza.  No Extravaganza is complete without Jungle Juice (lemonade) and Animal Crackers.  I enjoyed watching the creative ways students chose to present.  May had props, photographs, or drawings.  During computers students created power point presentations to share the new information they learned.  They are putting the finishing touches on them now!  I look forward to putting these on the blog so you can see how hard they worked!  Check back next week!

 

*Reminder: There is a link on a previous post that will take you directly to the survey.  It only takes a couple minutes! 

 

Have a great weekend!!
