Working Hard and Having Fun at the Fun Run!

Another week down!  :)  The kids have been having a good time at school this week.  We are practicing counting and played some fun math games to help us with that concept.

We have also been making some class books.  That means each person in our class is responsible for writing and illustrating one page.  Then I take the pages and bind them into a book for us to read.  We made our own version of Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom.  The kids each drew a coconut tree, glued one letter of the alphabet on the tree, and then added a real band-aid to help "fix" their letter.  Then they had to write the letter and the place it got hurt.  They did a great job with it!

Madisen wrote, "L hurt its side."  They loved using the band-aids!

We also made a class version of the book, "The Shape of Things."  They each picked out a shape and added something to the shape to turn it into something new.  Oliver's page said, "A circle is just a circle until you add stripes, then it is a ball."

John wrote, "A square is just a square until you add a roof, then it is a house."

Cameron was our Star Student this week and told us all about his special stuffed animal bear.

And Olivia and Parker turned 6 and shared some yummy birthday treats with us!  Happy birthday to you!

Friday night was the school Family Fun Run.  It was a really exciting event and it was great to see so many people from our class there!  If you were there and I didn't get your picture, I apologize!  Here we are doing the Hokey Pokey with a bunch of mascots.

Go Titan!

On your mark, get set,...

Go!  Good job running everyone!

It is really fun to see our friends outside of school!

I even had to race.  Miss Cook and I in our gunny sacks, ready to go!

There was also some yummy food to enjoy.  Burke liked his blue cotton candy!

And John had some pizza for dinner! 

Thanks to everyone who came out to support our school!  I also  I appreciate everyone who has been coming in the classroom to help out!  If you are unable to volunteer in our room and would like to do a project for me at home, just let me know!  I have lots of stuff you could do.  :)
