Playing Catch-Up!

I'm sorry for not posting last week! My family and I took a much needed vacation to Gatlinburg, TN. Having a 1 1/2 year old, I can not say it was a "relaxing vacation", but it was a vacation nonetheless. =) 

Now on to classroom happenings! We have been super busy the past few weeks. We've been preparing for our end of the 9 weeks Post Tests, doing Pumpkin Investigations, hearing from an Alabama State Trooper on safety, and checking out some of the nocturnal animals that make the Montgomery Zoo their home! It has been a whirlwind of a couple of weeks! Below are some of the pictures from the Pumpkin Investigations and the zoo visit. Enjoy your weekends and prepare for a fresh start as the new 9 weeks grading period begins Monday!

And a very special thank you to Nichole Holt (also known as Mya's mom) for bringing beautiful flowers and cupcakes for my birthday! 

A Busy Week!

Apologies for not getting this blog up within the week! Sometimes my days just start to run together! Last week was another great week in our class! We reached a special goal in AR (Accelerated Reader) on Friday! We made it to 100 (110 actually) AR points as a class! For a special surprise I had a special "100" treat on the students desks when they arrived on Friday. I also made a special banner for the entire hall to see that we had reached this goal! Keep reading with your child every night, and the progress they make will astonish you! We also did a very special RAK of providing breakfast for our sweet lunchroom staff. They were very thankful and LOVED the RAK idea! We also "Pinked Out" for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I've posted pictures from the week. Now, I must go a clean pumpkin seeds from our pumpkin investigations today. Have a great week!
