We're moving...

Our class blog is moving!  The blogger app has been discontinued and without the app there is no easy way to upload pictures from my phone.  Due to this we are moving all of our class documentation to a Facebook page.  I've sent invitations to everyone but here is the link incase someones got lost :).

https://www.facebook.com/groups/400154597070276/?ref=group_header

It's a private page so only people invited or request to be invited can see the contents of it.  Thanks so much for understanding the mid year change.

GO JIM GO on character day!

GO JIM GO day on character day was awesome!  Everyone loved sharing all about their characters as well as letting others guess.  Then right before lunch we got to go cheer on the GO JIM GO team and give them all the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters we collected.  The kids were all very excited to see who the money they brought in was going to.  I explained that it was going to Le Bonheur to help kids but that the GO JIM GO group would be picking it up to give to the hospital.  We got all spirited out with our pom noms and headed to the front to cheer the bike riders on.  They came with dance music, lots of bikers, as well as a bus :).  Some friends even got to help hold one of the bikes!

Birthday, tacky, and volleyball day!!!

Friday was an awesome, crazy, and fantastic day!

After family gathering we started with Ian's dad as our mystery reader.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!!!

Then we took some Tacky Day class pictures!

Then after some fun and of course our spelling test we went over to the Field House for the volleyball game!  We had an amazing time.  There was lots of cheering, dancing, and snacking!  We had an amazing time and the Lady Tigers pulled out a 3 games to 0 win!!!  GO TIGERS GO :) 

When we got back we had some recess and some chill reading time!  We even popped out our new Kindle fires from Donors Choose and some friends read books on them.  Thanks to everyone who helped us get this awesome resource!

Steps to planting a plant!

This week we've been learning all about plant parts and how they grow!  We talked all about how you plant a seed and then everyone had an opportunity to write about the sequence of planing.  They started with a picture as a visual cue but then got to add to to the pictures to make them our own!  They did a great job of sequencing as well as using inventive spelling.  I'm so proud of them with how hard they've been working on using the phonics knowledge we have learned with their inventive spelling.  They are all getting so much better with remembering to use punctuation as well as making the first letter of a sentence capitalized.
