A Week Full of Clovers!

This week in class we completed several activities dedicated to St. Patrick's Day! Below are some sneak peaks into our week!

"My mom and my dad. They take care of me. I love them more than gold. They are nice. They love me and protect me."

"My daddy is worth more to me than gold because he protects me."

"My mom and my dad are worth more than gold because they always take care of me."

It was a very fun and lucky week!

 We had a fun filled week with Ms. Myrie and are getting ready to head to the zoo! We will be going to the zoo on Tuesday April 8th and would love to have you come along with us! If you would like to volunteer please fill out a background check online at the Aldine ISD website (Available here) or stop by the front office.

I am excited to announce that I also have another grant up on the donorschoose.org website. I am hoping to receive two iPod touches and a digital camera to use in the classroom daily. We were very fortunate to have our first grant funded. If your family knows any individuals or businesses that might like to donate please feel free to pass the following information along!

Oh the Things we did with Dr. Seuss!

It took me a whole week to recover from our VERY busy Dr. Seuss week! Here is a look into some of the things we did each day!

On Monday there were Wockets in our Pockets!

On Tuesday we had hats galore!

On Wednesday we talked about All the Places we have went and want to go!

The kids did a great job thinking of all the different ways we can travel!

On Thursday we wore crazy socks and created "Super Socks" with super powers!

"I want my super power to be a force field like battle droids. I would build a remote so I could turn it on and off. I would play with my friend. I would turn it green." 

On Friday we ate green eggs and ham!

Before we ate our green eggs and ham we made predictions saying if we would like them or not!

".....but I would eat salad on a ballad!"

".....but I would eat berries on a fairy!"

On Friday we also had a surprise and read Bartholomew and the Oobleck....and we made some Oobleck of our own!

What a fun week we had! All of our work was so beautiful that many of the pieces are still hanging up and decorating our room!

This week we are lucky to have a new teacher joining us in Room #12! Ms. Myrie will be with us until early May. The students enjoyed meeting her earlier in the year and are excited for her return! Ms. Myrie will be observing the class for the first week of her visit. Then she will gradually pick up teaching several of the lessons throughout the weeks to come.

Go Texan Week

This week in class we celebrated "Go Texan Week"! The students learned about the state of Texas and even met some real trail riders on their way to the Rodeo! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Whew! What a week!

I hope you are getting ready for a very SUESSICAL week! Room #12 and Room #16 are coming together to celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday this week!

Remember the following for this week:

Monday, March 3th: Wear an outfit with A LOT of pockets and bring your own wocket (stuffed animal) and read There's a Wocket in my Pocket!

Wednesday, March 5th: Wear a shirt from a vacation (a shirt with the name of a place) and read Oh, the Places You'll Go!
