Last Day of School Party

Our theme for our end of the year party was Charlotte's Web. We ate snacks related to the book and rotated through several centers. Students created words out of pipe cleaners, did puzzles, made a web to describe themselves, and made a spider out of food.

Finally we created a giant web using yarn. I started and told the students what I loved about this year, and then tossed the yarn to another student. Each child got to share something they loved about the past school year. In the end we were all connected to each other before we said our goodbyes.

Theme Days & Thinking Skills

I think the students enjoyed the different themed days this week. On Tuesday we had silly sock day. On Wednesday it was hat day. Thursday was sports day, and today many students dressed as their favorite book character. They were lucky enough to have Miss Viola Swamp as their substitute today too.

We have had a busy week preparing for the end of the year. One thing we have been working on this week is Thinking Skills. We revisited analogies, and did a couple new ones too. Logic Links was a game using clues and deduction that the students really enjoyed on Thursday. We also worked on some more logic grids that we started a couple weeks ago.
