Zookeeper Times 2!

I am doing double duty today and posting last week's and this week's Zookeeper.  Last week was the awesome Zane!  This week is the Super Kristofer!  Both these gentlemen are huge helpers to our class!  We are lucky to have them!

A Royally Good Time

It’s Yamboree time and we had a “royal” visitor today!  Queen Nan came to visit our first grade today!  Nan and her twin sister Ann were Yamboree Queens in 1979! Nan came and showed us her train and some super cool pictures!  She also showed us how to wave like a Queen!  The kids really enjoyed her visit!  Thanks Queen Nan….You ROCK!!!

FYI…I want to be Nan when I grow up!  J  She is a super woman!

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!!!

Here Comes the IPODs.....

Our project was funded!!!!!  Hip Hip Hooray!!  We will soon have our IPODs in our listening center!  I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to vote.  And a HUGE thank you to SONIC!!!!!
