Well, in honor of Grandparents' & VIP Day, here is your tour for the week! You can be my VIP's! Ready? Let's get in the car!
 |
| Starting the week... gas pump light is on... Argggg. |
 |
| Keys and whistle... ready to become "Mrs. Wise" |
 |
| Petey- ridin' shotgun! A gift from one of my students... Love him! |
 |
| Wall O' Hamsters- Biscuit and Murphy! |
 |
| Biscuit- She is that fluff spot in the middle... |
 |
| Murphy- not a morning hamster. Or day hamster. He is a home-body... |
 |
| Question of the Week! Question of the students, "Is that Albert Einstein?" Me- "Yes." "What is he doing?" they ask. "What do you think he is doing???" |
 |
| However, there were a "plethora" of wonderful moments this week! |
 |
| The view from my desk. They were working on English before they went to Latin. |
 |
| This table apparently didn't hear, "Put your stuff away and push in your chair." That would be an imperative sentence. Teacher is thinking of all kinds of interrogative sentences. Most begin with "why"... |
 |
| Students in The Word. Can't beat it. |
 |
| Better still- students in The Word WITH highlighters!!! |
 |
| Owl slippers from my student. She has matching ones. What a sweetie! I am blessed and spoiled! |
 |
| Microscopes set up for Grandparents'/VIP Day. Learners young and old can't get enough of looking into these guys! |
 |
| Can you guess our history unit? |
 |
| In 1492, well, Columbus didn't have a clue where he was going... Oops... |
 |
| Homework... Did you do yours? |
 |
| Students love this game. Do you know what "sesquipedalian" means? This one is gold star worthy... |
 |
| Students spotting our vocabulary words- THIS IS how you get gold stars... |
 |
| Recess duty... It is a bit cold and windy. That is my building on the left. "The Wing". |
 |
| Me, being goalie in soccer at recess. Tried to take a picture, but I was getting scored on. Hence, the finger in the picture. Playing in sandals and a skirt is not recommended. |
 |
| Winston, my crow buddy (this is for you, Wendy!). |
 |
| Anyone remember doing this as a child? It's back... |
 |
| How do you make a cart with junk on it look better for Grandparents' Day? Put a blanket over it! |
 |
| All
letters present and accounted for during most of the week!!! It was a
first! I was proud of them. Aww, but Friday... Down to "T-H-I". Teacher
sad. But still proud of them!!! At least it didn't say "T-H-I" on
Tuesday! Even cooler- A student came up with a great idea! If we are
good, we can add 'i', then 'n', and then 'g' because we are thinking!!!
"What happens if we earn 'thinking'?" Um, celebrate that we didn't
lose recess... Don't worry. I thought it in my head. I didn't say it.
Just like I didn't say, "I WANT TO GO HOME!" 30 minutes after school
started today. I said it in my head. A LOT. Friday was a LONG day... |
 |
| Final destination... My desk. Thanks for stopping by! |
Thank you for visiting! I hope you had a wonderful week where you are! Thank you all for your prayers for this class! It is greatly appreciated! You all are thought of warmly and are in my prayers!
Blessings!
