Mid November

We celebrated Veteran's Day by wearing red, white, and blue and making cards for some heros that served our country. I was privileged to tell them about my papaw and my cousin, Matt. After school I delievered the cards and tears started coming. These women and men who fight for our country are so thankful for the encouraging words and gestures by others. Glad we could help show a small portion of appreciation towards them. 

Our class was the 1st place class who won the 1st in math trophy for 2 weeks!! We got to keep this big thing in our room for awhile. The kids love this online math program especially these two!! Always working hard at computer lab and at home! Keep it up, class!!

Love the fall season and all the things that come along with it like turkeys, pumpkins, cornucopias, etc. Our class made the cutest turkeys out of construction paper to help decorate our bulletin board outside our classroom. Don't want to take it down...ever! 

Nov. 3-5

The 1st Monday of every month, we have a staff meeting after school. It's always full of lots of information and can overwhelm us. We have awesome parents at Roberts that know how to make us happy and let us take a breather. Our Pta is fabulous!!! Wendy Farrell and Allison Ward decorated and provided snacks for our November meeting. Aren't they so talented??

Tuesday, November 4th was Election Day. I thought it was appropriate to teach my students the process of voting. I read several books from our library, watched a book on bookflix and we even had a mock election. The students learned some great vocabulary words like candidate, governor, ballot, etc. Check out our "voting booth" and my students casting their votes for either Mike Ross or Asa Hutchinson. 

And our wonderful aids, Mrs. Gardner and Mrs. Shaide counted and tallied the votes. And the winner was ...Mike Ross.. 

Another exciting thing happened this week in K was that our class got selected for Retro Cafe for excellent behavior during lunch in the dining room. My students love this. They get to sit in a super cool place with old timy booths and listen to music from a jutbox. Here are some of my girls that are feeling oh so special. 

Last week in October

We have sure had fun this year in K! We had two really fun events last week. We had a sock hop to celebrate the 50th day of school and went to the pumpkin patch for our fall field trip.

50th day:  The kids dressed up in 50s attire and we went to the soda shop. We had root beer floats, decorated a cookie, hula hooped and danced. 

In science we have been leaning about the life cycle of a pumpkin. After many read alouds, videos, crafts, my students and I made a class story of a life cycle of a pumpkin. They worked on this by tables and came back together to put it all in order. I thought my students did a fabulous job!! Good fine motor skills and handwriting, too!

We decided since we have taught all about pumpkin the kids need to have a real life experience so we went to BoBrook Farms. We love this place! They are organized and have rotations set up for classes to rotate throughout their one there. Check out all of our photos from this super fun day!!

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week Activities: October 21 – 24

“Our School has SWAG:Students Who Achieve Goals”

We encouraged the students to wear their Red Ribbon every day that week. We were excited about this week and enjoyed teaching your children about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and having healthy friendships!

Each day the kids learned something different about red ribbon week. Below is a list of the things they participated in. 

Tuesday: “Give Bad Choices (& drugs) the BOOT” - wear boots and/or western wear.

Wednesday: “Bright Choices, Bright Future” - wear bright clothes and sunglasses

Thursday: “itune out bad choices” - dress like a rockstar

Friday: “We are Hog Wild about being drug and bully free!” - wear Razorback gear or the color red.

Here are pictures from the week!! Thank you parents for helping promote this in our school.

We had library last Tuesday with Mrs. Cantrell. The kids learned/reviewed about table of contents, index, labels, captions, dark font words in books. They were able to explore with a partner and find these things. 

Good job Loyal and Linley!

This past Friday, we had our second mystery reader. It was Emily's mom. She brought 3 different books with her to read to the class. We enjoyed having her in the class. She was engaging and kept the kids entertained. Some of the books allowed the kids to participate and interact. Thanks for coming!!! Sign up if you are interested in reading to my little Kinders!
