Field Trip to Kingsbury Hall

Our fieldtrip to Kingsbury Hall was an awesome adventure.  The weather was perfect, the play was great, and the company was even better!  

Here are some of my favorite reviews that the kids gave the play:

"I gave this play 3 stars because there was too much music, but I liked the play."

-Seth

"I gave this play 5 stars because I liked that the teacher had a shakey bottom."

-James

"I gave this play 4 1/2 stars because it was very good but not what I expected."

-Rylee

"I gave this play 5 stars because they did really good singing and they did really good costumes and makeup."

-Natalie

"I gave this play 5 stars because it made me giggle and smile."

-Jillian

Reward Day!



Our class REALLY enjoyed our reward day.  Pizza, donuts, drinks, and a movie!  What could be better?  We earned the pizza and donuts for being the TOP readers K-2 in the Jazz contest.  The movie was a reward for groups working together to earn 40 points!  (It's taken almost 3 months meet our goal!)  Nothing like the reaping the benefits of hard work!

 

 

 

3 D Architecture

While learning about shapes, we decided to try our hand at engineering and archetiture.  By making a plan, calculating the supplies we would need, and putting what we knew about shapes into action, we were able to construct a cube using pretzel rods and marshmellows. 

 

 

The success of each sutdent varied, but all of us had fun using shapes in a real way.

 



JAZZ Assembly!

Have you ever heard 300 kids screaming with unrestrained excitement?  Imagine if you will, our little cafeteria packed with grades K-6, all cheering, and yelling, and having the time of their lives, and you will know a little bit of what the Jazz assembly was like.

Earl Watson was our Jazz player, and I thought he did an excellent job reading to, and talking with the kids.  (Some of the Jazz players in the past have not been as articulate...)  But Earl did a wonderful job of encouraging the kids, telling them not to try to be "cool", they should just be who they are, and answering our endless questions.  (Did you know he goes through 24 pairs of shoes a season?)

Follow Earl up with a Russell's Ice-cream milkshake, and you have the BEST DAY EVER!!!  

Congrats to our supreme readers!!!  Being the K-2 champs is a title we hold proudly.  

Screaming School

SNOW MUCH FUN!!!!

Before Winter break, our class undertook a massive snowflake making project!  This labor intensive craft took a lot of time, and made a huge mess.  

Don't worry, we made the best of it by having ourselves an indoor snowball fight!  

Cutting, cutting, cutting

It's coming right along...

"Snowball Fight"

We'd practiced singing this song quite a few times, but getting to actually throw things at each other really brought the words to life!

And then...a FREE-FOR-ALL!!!!!
