Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly “Silly” Tales……

What a week!  We have been very busy learners.  I want to start out by saying congratulations to our Zookeeper of the week Sophia!  Way to Go!!

This week we used adjectives to describe ourselves.  Then we did some awesome self-portraits to add to our descriptive words. 

In Reading, we continued our theme of Fairy Tales with Henny Penny and Chicken Little.  The characters in both these versions have rhyming names like Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey and Foxy Loxy.  We thought it would be fun to create our own silly rhyming characters.  One of my favorites was Monkey Chunky….only because Chunky Monkey is my FAVORITE Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream!!   We drew our characters and used speech bubbles to come up with some dialogue.  We combined all of that greatness with a forest scene to create Henny Penny and Friends!

On Thursday we went to the Belcher Center to see the Stinky Cheese Man!  Oh my, it was fabulous!!  The kids (and grown-ups) had a blast.  Ask your little one to show you the Stinky Cheese Man Dance! 

We then went to Kidsview park for lunch and some out of this world Recess!! 

I have to give kudos to my class and the other first graders…they ROCKED that Field trip out!!  They used all their manners and had a great time!  I can’t wait for the next one.

Well, fall is here and it is my personal mission to decorate my classroom this weekend.  I am hoping if I put it in writing, I will get it done.  I really need a decoration committee!  HAHA!

Next week will be the beginning of the 2^nd Six weeks!   Report cards for the 1^st Six weeks come home on Wednesday. 

I loved Stinky Cheese Man so much I took my two darlings, Brooklynn and Brynn to the evening performance.  We had an awesome girls night out!!!
