Building for Kids Field Trip

As you know Mrs. Johnson and the kiddos went to the building for kids in Appleton last week. While they were there the sent me the pictures below. It looks like they had a great time! :)

Valentine's Day!

Last Friday for Valentine's day I had the opportunity to FaceTime with the kiddos. They were having a great day and they were working on making their Valentine's bags. They got to meet Beckett and I read them a Valentine's Day book. It made my day to see all their smiling faces and I am looking forward to being back in just under two weeks. I also got this awesome picture when they were all done. :)

Writing Celebration!

Last week on Friday we had a writing celebration in our classroom. The kids collected all of their personal narrative writing from the first trimester and put it into their portfolio. They then went around the room reading their books around the classroom. They could read to each other or to anything else in the room they would like. We also named our class pet "hamster" and wrote a story about him. Below are pictures from the day. We will now be moving on to informational writing and teaching books. The kids have really been enjoying writing this year and they are doing a fantastic job! I look forward to seeing what they can do next!!!
