Monday

Thanks to a couple handy people (My Dad and Wife) we now have these really awesome locker tags!  We were all pretty excited coming into school today and seeing these.

We also had new art up on our door!  Funny enough, we don't have any bulletin board space available right now haha.  However, the students amazing Andy Goldsworthy inspired art is up in our room.

Today in writing we all received our very own dictionaries.  We talked about how to look up words we can't spell, and where we can find words we don't know.  We also have a new word wall up too!  Today we practiced using our dictionaries for words we don't know how to spell.

 In Socials, we learned about needs and wants in our community.  We had a hard time understanding that skiing was a want.  Yes, it is exercise and we need that! haha.

Below are a few examples of our brainstorming.

^^ Doesn't this just melt your heart?!?! Cloud watching as a want!  So adorable.  That might just fit under the need category hehe.

With this beautiful warm weather the students are bringing in flowers to brighten our days up.  I must admit it brings a smile to my face too!  {Grandma you recognize the vases?}

Happy Monday!
