Five for SNOW DAY: Our Week in Review

We studied soil samples to determine what it is made out of.

Aaaannnnd I unknowingly wore two different earrings all day! :D

Also did our first word sort!!

We have been using and reading poetry since week 2 of school; we started a study on some poetry elements this week, including rhyme, rhythm, and alliteration.

A die, a mirror, counters, and a pencil can only mean DOUBLES! I will share our doubles activities next week.

We spent the week studying magic e, specifically i consonant e. We did word sorts, made words, spelled words, read stories, read poetry--here we are using the pattern to spell some i consonant e words!

And this is just b-a-n-a-n-a-s, right???!

I got a Grumpy Cat book in the mail from a friend in Germany--wahhhooo!!!!

And Thursday was quite the day, so this turned out to be my lunch: peanut butter sandwich, graham crackers and frosting. Yum! ;)

And this is TODAY:

NO SCHOOL!!!!! :D :D :D

Five for Friday! (On Saturday)

I haven't joined this linky party in a while, so I am excited to be posting this today!!

Last weekend, I came across some infomercials, got sucked in, and ended up running out to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a Ninja Blender!! It's REALLY cool! :) Here is our first smoothie in it!!

 

THE absoulute BEST thing about sub days!!!!!!!!

.....and then there is the worst thing about sub days.......

I totally left a good marker out for the sub to use on this board and this is what it looked like when I got back to my room... :(

And I am not sure about the content of it or why the ones and tens on the bottom are in reverse order....

In reading, we studied Author's Purpose all week and did a little book sorting activity one day. The students were grouped into small groups of 3-4 and then given a stack of books to sort by purpose. They studied them, decided as a group, and then we piled them all together in a large group.

 Finally, my own little designed and carved her first pumpkin!! Well, since she is only 3, we assisted the carving BUT the rest is all her! :)

And now, THIS is what I am going to do.......

Happy Saturday! :)
