Junior Achievemment

Jeanette Poe volunteered to help our class with Junior Achievement-- and she had a GREAT first day!  She will teach our class for 4 more sessions.  On Monday, we listened to a story , drew a picture of our favorite animal, and shared them with the class!

Thank you, parents!

We had one hundred percent parent attendance at conferences!  Thank you so much for all of your support!  

REF Grant! Thank you!

We were awarded a grant through the Rockford Education Association.  This has allowed us to purchase several hard cover books and book sets in order for us to study illustrations!  Our illustrations have added tone and details to our writing!  In addition, we have built a great deal of stamina during our writing workshop time, as well as our Daily 5, work on writing!

We studied Scaredy Squirrel, by Melanie Watt

Eden's version of a Scaredy Kid!

Green Eggs and Ham

Today we read Green Eggs and Ham!  Then we tasted them and published a class book!

  

Special Visitor

Mr. Stevens visited our classroom on Friday to read a book to us!  The book was "Where do Balloons Go?" by Jamie Lee Curtis.  After reading to us, he brought 12 balloons with him for students to release in pairs. 

Valentine Party Fun!

We celebrated Valentines Day with a great party!  Thank you so much to Mrs. TenBrink for helping to organize our party!  We had a great time playing Valentine bingo, decorating cookies, munching on snacks and opening our Valentines!

Welcome Parents and Students!
