Friday "Wrap Up"

Hellllooo Spring Break!!

This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss week.  We had a Dress Up day representing a book each day of the week.  My kinder teachers went all out for this.  Love them.

In addition to this, I also had my first experience skyping with another class for World Read Aloud Day.  Read about that here.  I had more skypes planned, but icy weather prevented it.  

We also finished Kinder research finally!  

4 First grade classes read There's a Wocket in My Pocket and used PicCollage to each make a page for a class book.  We loooked around the library for places that these little creatures might hide and made a list on the white board.  The students had to make a nonsense rhyming word to name their creature.  Take a picture and presto, they were the nonsense creature in the library. 

2 Second grade classes had note-taking lessons.  

And my wraps this week - Dr. Seuss Inspired of course

Black & White Skinny, Black & White Chevron and Retired Red Sparkle (you could use True Love to recreate this look.)

Friday "Wrap Up"

One more week until Spring Break!!  Although it sure doesn't feel like it outside.  We have freezing rain right now and it is supposed to get worse tomorrow.  This week was early dismissal for parent conferences so I thought I would get a lot done.  Somehow it didn't work out that way.

• 11 more kinder research lessons
• 2 kinder classes FINISHED with research!
• skyped 2x with students who were trying to finish a BINGO for ConnectED Bingo
• Planned activities for Dr. Seuss Week
• Participated in 3 twitter chats
• Spent the rest of my book budget

• Walk/Ran 15 miles on the treadmill.  My longest continuous run was 1.5 mles - which is HUGE for me!

Friday Funny 

Today was group picture day.  So the coding club was in line after choir and student council to get our group picture taken.  Quite a few students in the coding club were in choir so after they took their picture, they took off their choir shirts and got in our line.  When our picture was over one of the boys came to me and told me that his choir shirt was not on the bench where he left it.  We went to the music teacher's room thinking she probably picked it up with the rest of the shirts.  Sure enough, she had a big pile on a table.  I asked him if he knew what size it was and he replied it was a large.  I found a large in the pile and said, "Here it is!" and handed it to him.  He held the shirt up to his nose and inhaled deeply and said, "No, that's not mine!".  So i looked again and found another one.  He sniffed and handed it back with a "Nope".  I looked again, faound another large and hesitantly handed it over.  He repeated the process, but this time his face lit up like a jack-o-lantern and he very excitedly pronounced, "THIS IS MINE!"  I laughed and told him I was glad he recognized his smell and he replied back, "No, it's Gain!"

And now my wraps.  Had to get these on before January was over...
