Valentine's Day

We had so much fun doing Valentine's Day activities!  

First, we made owls out of all heart shapes.

During our party, we made pet dogs out of balloons. 

  

 

 

Ms. Elisha is a fantastic baker and made cupcakes with the kids.  

The kids also wrote me sweet notes on hearts. 

Square Cat

I love reading the book Square Cat with my class, it is a great story to talk about friendship and how it's ok if our friends are different than us.

 This square cat is a glyph, so when we are done we will graph the different ways our friends responded to the questions.

Thanks for the idea from Chalk Talk 

Groundhogs Day

We made a really fun Groundhogs Day activity yesterday! The class made groundhogs using heart shapes.  Then we designed and wrote about our own burrows.  I love how unique each groundhog is!

Writing Partners

We have started a new challenge in writing...making our writing not only easy for us to read, but easy for our friends to read too.  We will start a new tradition of ending each writing session by coming to the carpet and sharing our writing from the day with our partner.  Our partner will read our story and give us a thumbs up if it's easy to read or a muscle flex if it needs some more work.  They did a great job today!

And a great -ing crown picture from last week!
