A "Bear-y" good day

Here we are going on a bear hunt. Join us on a bear hunt- click here!









We read together and went online to follow some scientists who were caring for new bear cubs.
We really enjoyed Keaton's sparkly snowflake estimation bag. Next weeks superstar is Tayte.


Superstars and Superheroes!


I am one proud teacher! Check out this groups writing below! The students are star writers- sounding out their own words, remembering capitals at the beginning, punctuation at the end and spaces between words!
They love to share their writing with the class.
I also think hot coco was a very inspiring topic.
Enjoy:)






Pretty Pink Poncho Paige!




Sight word advancement- this week Tayte went to home plate to join Keaton and  Caden joined a growing crew on second base.  Keep up the super work!











Superstar Keaton's Mystery bag-
 I am a superhero,
I am from Asgard,
I can fly!
It's Thor!

Lets assemble

Our day began with the Yell and Tell assembly. Yell and Tell is very important to know. Your child is bringing home a book about it tonight, ask them to share and tell it to you.
We never should be too scared to tell when someone is being unsafe or in a dangerous situation.

Mrs. Davidson sharing the program with us and the books she wrote below.

If someone falls in water, plays with a gun or matches, goes off with a stranger...........

We will yell and tell!!!!


In the afternoon we were treated to the 5th and 6th grade band and orchestra concert. Someday many of the students said they would like to play an instrument.


Addison would make a great conductor!
