Concerts and Chromebooks

We are so close to our concert! It is on Thursday, February 5th at 6:30 at the high school. Students need to arrive between 6 and 6:10. We will NOT be having the open house at the elementary school.  Instead, you are welcome to come a little early or stay a little later at the high school to check out our fairy tales.  Please be sure to take your child's project home with you that night.  We have been working REALLY hard on our fairy tales and I am excited to see the dioramas that the kids are creating at home (due Monday).

On Wednesday we brought the Chromebook cart into our classroom and we went to work. Mr. H's 3rd grade class came in and helped us navigate Google. It was a lot of fun and the kids can't get enough.  I sent home log in information so they can do it at home too.  Every Wednesday morning will be Chromebook cart morning in our room.  The kids will have multiple tasks to accomplish that will cover all subject areas.  

Unit 9 test on Friday... I moved it up because the kids are ready.  Unit 10 will begin next week!

Our Last Few Weeks in Pictures

I have not been great at updating lately so, for now I am going to update you in pictures about our last few weeks.
CLASS SHIRTS! We are looking mighty cute.  The kids put their arms around each other on their own. I feel the love! 
We began a fairy tale unit.  The kids are working on making it to the Enchanted Castle by reading several fairy tales and going through hazards and completing travel tickets. 

Working hard!

This is one of my favorite units ever! It gives them independence and they are having fun! 

We made cinnamon roll waffles on our pajama day.

Clearly, they were delicious! 

The kids are loving our new floor/carpet.  It is super matched to our room!

Second and a Half Graders!

Hopefully, this week will be totally normal and we will be back in a routine. We have started some new things this semester and I am super excited to get it all going. 

I was gone on Friday because I sprained my ankle.  I am on crutches, but I will be back tomorrow morning.  

Report cards come home on Thursday.  If you have any questions or anything after you get them, please let me know.   

Friday is an 11:05 dismissal and no school on Monday the 19th. 

We are starting music concert practices very soon for our concert on February 5th.  I cant wait! 

I am going to be giving the unit 8 Fundations test on Friday morning.  We have had so many interruptions and I just wanted to make sure the kids were ready. 

Here are some pictures from before break.   Thank you to everyone who donated treats for our party.  We appreciated it!  Enjoy!
