It's Over... :(

Such a sad, but predictable day!  This has been a great class.  I have loved every minute of watching them learn and grow up.  I will miss them next year.  Not only will they not be in my classroom, but they are also moving to Academy Hill.  I won't even get to check on them in the halls!  One final picture of most of us at the end of Beach Day last week...

Good luck class of 2014!  I  will miss you!

BEACH Day!

We had a great beach day!  A little sad about the dreary rain and some events were changed to inside, but we made it work!  Here are some pictures for you.  If it wasn't so slow to upload, I would share more!  Thanks for the donation of a t-shirt or money to purchase one.  The kids loved the tie-dying.

 Beach ball fun!

 Coconut bowling- she was really aiming!

So happy!

 Creating a beach mural

 Tie-dying our shirts

Trying to stay dry and clean... really!

Same work... Different Place!

Thought I'd share a few pics of us working on our writing outside this week.  After we got over the initial distractions, it was a fun change of scenery!

Welcome to 2014!

Had to share the funniest moment today!  When starting our lesson about letter writing I asked, "Why do we write letters?"

Student response: "Because our cell phone battery is dead??"

Thought I was going to die laughing!  Out of the mouths of babes... :)

Enjoying School!

What did you enjoy today??

Rylie: Writing because we got to write name poems.
Jacob: I liked gym at Academy.  It was just a gym, not the art or music room.
Douglas: I liked the life cycle practice.  We got to color. 
Ally:  Calendar because I was really into it today!
Summer:  Recess because we got to do fun things like play with play dough.
Aiden: I liked writing time.  We wrote about ourselves.
Alexis: In reading we got to read.  I liked my book.
