Chinese Feast #2

A couple more pictures from the feast today!

Chinese Feast Pictures

Located here are the pictures from today's Chinese Feast! The kids had a great time, and should be full until December... everything was eaten and there was no leftovers!

Thank you to everyone for donating and/or volunteering! I look forward to having you all in the classroom again, or at a time in the future.

Have a great weekend:)

Study Island

Me again...

The children have been working on Study Island here at school. The website consists of test prep questions, and games to play for practicing the material. I log in and see the children's progress and what they need to work on based on how they do online. They can log on at home and play (wow - a computer game they can play that is for school!!!!).

Have fun!

PS - I told them if they print their reports (or you sign off in their assignment books), I will reward them tickets for playing at home!

First Day of School Picture!

I thought everyone would be interested in the picture I took on the first day of school. It is not in large poster size located on the wall behind our sink. The kids look at it often!

I'll take more at today's Chinese Feast and post those this weekend:)

Thursday

Hello out there! Right now I am sitting here watching the children work on a couple of final projects for The Cricket in Times Sqaure. They all loved the book, as do I. The children are so creative and have come up with some great answers... they are now awarding awards for Best Solution to a Problem, Best Quote, Funniest Part, Best New Word, and more. The best part is, they have to write 2-3 sentences explaining why they gave that award.

I'm looking forward to our feast tomorrow, and the projects on Monady.

ALSO - Starting next week, the students will be going to Mrs. Domizi on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Social Studies. I will be teaching Science Mondays and Wednesdays. I am looking forward to this new adventure!

Have a great day!

Chinese Feast

Coming up on Friday is our Chinese Feast, like the one Mario attended in the book, The Cricket in Times Square.

Don't forget to bring in your item and do not bring a lunch!

Our Cricket in Times Square projects are due on Monday too... don't forget to get to work on that as well!

Day 1 of our new blog

Hello out there to all my wonderful third graders!

Here is the beginning of our communication from school to home. It will include our homework assignments, things going on in our classroom, and even some fun pictures of what we do in school. Feel free to send a comment back - especially about the pictures we post.

:-) Happy school!
