End Of Year Slideshow 2014

End of Year Video

This is such a bittersweet time of the year! Summer is always an appreciated change, but I always feel a certain sadness in saying good-bye to my sweet firsties! We have grown into such a family in the classroom and each and every student holds aspecial place in my heart!

Enjoy our end of the year slideshow!

 

Summer Review Websites

I wanted to pass along a great resource I found from A Year of Many Firsts.  The following are wonderful, educational websites for your child to explore over the summer to prevent the summer slide.

Field Trip to the Aquarium

We had a great time yesterday visiting the aquarium and connecting to everything we learned as we studied the ocean! Below are some images from the day. 

 

 

Happy 100th Day of Learning!

We had a great day today celebrating 100 days of learning! When students walked in this morning, they were given a ticket.  On their ticket were 12 activities. Our goal was to earn 100 points by completing 10 activities, worth 10 points each. Actvities were spread throughout the day in whole group and stations.  Some of them included writing about what it would be like to be 100 years old, counting how many times we can do certain things in 100 seconds, making a list of  number sentences that equal 100, creating a chain with 100 objects on it, graphing 100 beads, plus many more!

Boosterthon

We had a great time at our Boosterthon Fun Run before the break! As a class, we raised over $800 for our school!! Way to go BLACK ATTACK! Thanks to all those who came out to support your child.  For those that were not able to make it, here are some pictures for your enjoyment!

 

And of course we had to do a silly shot!

Class Angel

First off, I hope that everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving with their families! I certainly did.  I am feeling very blessed and thankful this year.  I am especially thankful for all my wonderful firsties and the families that raise them. Each and every one of them has a special spot in my heart!

I am also thankful for programs like "Small World" that help families in need have a joyful and memorable holiday season.  Small world is the program that helps coordinate our class "angel".  I am a big believer and supporter of this program.  I want to thank everyone who sent in monetary donations, as well as gifts for our angel this year! I know that our angel will have a wonderful holiday season because of you!

We received shoes, a coat, a scarf, a barbie doll and a few more clothing items. Thank you so much for these donations!  I did a little black Friday shopping in order to maximize the gifts we could get her! With the $ you guys sent in, I was able to purchase a Barbie vacation home, 2 hooded sweatshirts, 2 tops, a pair of jeans, leggings, and socks.

 

Thank you again for making this sweet child's Christmas wishes come true!
