Time!

This morning I attached a watch to each of the kids wrists and their job was to find out what time everyone's watch said.  All of the kids did a really good job and I definitely hope they will be ready for the test on Wednesday morning.

We finished up poetry last week with the book, "Mirror , Mirror." It is one of the coolest books ever! Afterwards, the students worked in pairs to reflect on a poem of their choosing. Before all of that, we created diamante poems.  They wrote them out first and then typed them up.  After that, they cut and pasted them onto kites that they made.  Diamante poems are in the shape of a diamond, so a kite seemed fitting.  

On Tuesday, Ali and her mom were nice enough to bring in her new lion-head bunny Leia for us to see.  

After a nice vacation in California, Kadin came back and shared some things with the class.  He was kind enough to bring me back an Oscar!
