Happy New Year!

  Here's hoping evveryone had a restful holiday break. We are busy working on a winter unit and will soon be starting on our health unit focusing on Dental care. We also have some projects going on to create new things to use here at school. Enjoy the photos!

Cool Fun in the Fall!

We have been busy with so many fall activities. There is a little chill in the air and everyone is excited. We have been working on a special project for October 31st., we have had special visitors from St. Catherine's school next door, and we have celebrated Mrs. Banks birthday! We have read silly stories and scary stories and social stories! Have a happy and safe weekend, everyone!

Pumpkin Patch Visit

For our October CBI trip we headed out to the pumpkin patch. It was a breezy fall-like day and a great day for pumpkin shopping. The students heard a story, had a snack, and got to pick out a pumpkin to decorate. We followed this up with lunch at Burger King. All in all, a fun day out!

Trains, Trains, Trains

  Today we took our first CBI outing to the Big Shanty museum in Kennesaw. The kids enjoyed the sights and sounds as well as the interactive attractions. The museum keeps growing and adding more exhibits. The movie captured our attention for quite a while as well. The students got to "drive" a train on a video exhibit, listen to stories and train sounds, and of course see the General. Have a great weekend, everyone!  (Click on an image to make it larger)

1st CBI this Friday !! –

Hi Everyone!

We have been reading in News-2-You about the New Thomas the Tank engine movie. We have been working on all kinds of basic skills using a train theme. The students are sequencing, working on colors, communication skills, ordinal numbers and reading and writing, to name a few. On Friday we will travel to the Southern Museum to see the General and other exhibits. Please continue to work with your students on sorting, sequencing and ordinal numbers at home. Thanks!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back, everyone!

Wow! I can't believe the first week has gone already! We are underway working on our "School" unit. The students are reading books, keeping the reading journal again this year, and we have completed (with parents' help!) our first scrapbook page.

We welcome two new students this year, Tatiana and Samy. And beginning next week we will welcome another new student, George, to our class!

On Friday, August 22, we will celebrate Donald Ray's birthday in class. He will be 10 years old on Sunday!

We are looking forward to a great year1

Happy Spring!

This week we read about the tornado in Atlanta, then talked about spring and had several spring activities. We worked on a couple of secret projects, planted seeds, and finished off the week with dyeing eggs and then an Easter Egg hunt this afternoon. (Check bookbags for a real egg!)

Last month we had a cookie survey with Mrs. Sommer's class. The students tasted three kinds of cookie and then made a model of their favorite to graph. Oreo was the favorite by far.

Have a great weekend, and a Happy Easter, everyone!

   

Recycling Counts!

Our class is spearheading a campaign to recycle paper around our school. We started with a lesson on making something new from the old with our homemade paper. Then we set up bags to collect copier paper in the teacher workrooms and our students collect it for the recycling bin. We also collect the aluminum cans for the bin. Check them out! Have a great weekend, everyone!
