Spelling Vests

     I got these letter vests with budget money this year.  I love them!  We spent time practicing word families and popcorn words on Friday, too.  Mrs. Fisher and the kids had brainstormed a bunch of
-an words earlier in the day. 

Check out these cuties spelling fan.

Tasty math!

Yesterday we did number stories using Swedish Fish.  When we finished practicing our adding and subtracting, we got to eat our "catch."  Thanks to Miss T. for providing the tasty treat!

Welcome to the Blog, L!

I got permission to put a new face on the blog.  Here she is!

ABC Patterns

     One of the goals for math during the 2nd trimester is to be able to generate a 3-part or ABC pattern independently.  We practiced one day recently.  The kids had loads of materials to choose from to "show what they know."  However, the linking chains were the most popular that day.

So many photos...so little time!

I took tons of pictures of the kids in December.  Below is a sample from Winter Wonderland at the middle school and our waffle morning.  Note the extreme cuteness of kindergarteners in pajamas.  There are also some picts of kids helping unwrap class gifts.
