Reading Workshop

We are readers.

They love independent reading time.

They read their poetry journal, emergent readers, 

leveled readers and library books.

I love watching them become really great readers.

Being an Author

These scholars love reading in the Author Chair.

They are doing such a great job writing stories.

70th Day of School

70th Day of School

Seriously can your believe it is the 70th Day of School.

Today we made a 70 chain to decorate for the Holiday.

Zero the Hero came and brought us snow donuts.

Best Quote of the Day:  "Mrs. Butts did you know that every time Zero the Hero comes there is a zero in the Days of School"

Best Job ever.

Happy Birthday Abigail

Reindeer Week

We had a Reindeer Unit this week.

Did your child tell you that Reindeer are called Caribou?

Major Teacher Fail.   I forgot to take pictures of them researching Reindeer Facts, Reading about Reindeer, Direct Drawing a Reindeer, painting a Reindeer, Writing about Reindeer and even making Rudolph hats .

Here is a picture of our final product.

Ornament Making

Today we read the book 

Arthur's Christmas Cookie 

and made Holiday Ornaments.

SSHHH! They are a surprise for someone very special to us.

Star the Class Elf

Star the class Elf arrived today.

They were amazed.
