90th Day of School

I can not believe I am putting this picture on here. 

But it is our last Zero the Hero Day.

This has absolutely been a very effective way to teach the children counting by 10's and counting to 100.
Every 10 days Zero the Hero came to visit us.
We would work to discover ways to make the new zero number.

 

Every 10 days on Zero the Hero Day

I would bring them a zero treat.

They keep telling me (hinting to me) that donuts look like a zero.

So today I brought them donuts.

They were so excited.

Learning about Dr. Martin Luther King!

I introduce the work of Dr. Martin Luther King by showing the students a brown egg and a white egg.  We talk about how they are different colors on the outside but he same on the inside.

Then we read a book about Dr.  King.  This topic is very interesting to this age student.  They want everyone to be treated the same and always have lots of questions. 

Good Stuff!

Happy Birthday Gavin! Happy Birthday Layla!

We had two birthdays this week.

 

 

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Happy Birthday, Layla!

Winter Tree

In our continued effort to learn about the seasons and change over time, we went outside and looked at our adopted Tree.

 I had a good chuckle when I took this picture. 

They are all taking pictures of the tree. 

So cute.

Classroom Divided

Joshua walked into the classroom this morning all smug wearing this Packer's Shirt. Unfortunately his efforts were lost on me because I am not a die hard football fan and did not realize.  However, we had several students in the class who immediately realized and they started giving him a hard time.  Then when I realized what they were talking about

I was able to get in on the fun. 

I love that we have built such a fun classroom family that we can have fun with something like football.

Fun Day!

Independent Reading

We read independently many different ways.

Here the students are reading their Poetry Folders and their Browsing Box Books.

They love it.
