The past two weeks have been filled with lots of excitement! We celebrated two Summer Birthdays, found corn in the sandbox, planted seeds and helped assemble new furniture for our room. The weather was wild, and we had fun in the wind and the sun. And a huge thanks everyone who participated in this book order as it was the largest order this school year!
Corn in the sand box!
Our class celebrated Max’s Summer Birthday last week. His mom, Nicole and dad, Brian came in and shared a great slide show of Max through the years. The children loved seeing how much he had grown and many commented that his smile looks the same from when he was a baby. They also brought in yummy cupcakes and strawberries for snack. Max’s mom read to us a great story called Dino-Soccer by Lisa Wheeler and Max assisted by turning the pages. Thank you to Max and his parents for a wonderful morning!
During regular class time we also made some blue sparkling rain drops that are hanging in our room. April showers bring May flowers! Another day was spent with our Peer Readers. We all really love having the connection with the Second grade students. During the week, Mrs. Piasecki came into our room and we planted 2 different types of pumpkin seeds that will later be transplanted to the giant pumpkin batch behind the bus barn. We all explored our 12 new puzzles and the corn table. Mr. B came to room and put together our new red couch and table with4 chairs for the Pretend Area.
Gabrielle celebrated her Summer Birthday with her mom Kate, dad Nigel, and sister Elizabeth last week. She brought in yummy cookies and lots of fruit to share at snack. Her dad showed a slide show on his computer with lots of great pictures. We all got see how much Gabrielle has grown up. Her mom read “Skippy John Jones in the Dog House,” by Judy Schachner. The children loved her Spanish accent and the funny story line. Tank you to the Hinds family for a great morning.
