Getting Ready for Openhouse

Thanks to our volunteers, especially Mr. & Mrs. Davis who helped do our hand and feet painting for our paintings "We're Growing in Different Ways!"

Author's Chair

The children share what they have written, using the microphone and author's chair.

Here they are working on a group write.

Superheroes Abound!

Two weeks later we were learning the sounds for the triplets "er," "ir," and "ur".  They all make the supER sound.  So the children were invited to dress as superheros any day that week.  Mrs. Jacobsen did have her Superteacher cape on but there are no pictures (so sad).  Morgan dressed up three out of the four days.

Shiver Me Timbers- There Be Pirates!

Ahoy thee mateys!  We were studying the "AR" sound which pirates so love to say  "AAARRRGH!"  The children were invited to dress up as pirates since Mrs. Jacobsen dressed everyday as one.  Here are a few pictures.

Jeremiah dressed up each day!

Jack Hartman

The children were singing, dancing and having fun at our Jack Hartman concert.  We often listen to his songs in the morning.  Two particular favorites are:  "There Once Was a Pirate" and "Tooti Ta Ta".
Here are some pictures.  Note the teachers even got into the groove.

Word Detectives

The children are learning to become word detectives.  They are using context clues from the illustrations and surrounding text to try and figure out the meaning of unknown vocabulary words.  I will keep adding pictures as I catch the students in their sleuthing.

Quiz Quiz Trade

The children are participating in an activity called "Quiz Quiz Trade".  The children have made their own math flashcards and are quizzing their classmates on their math problems.
