Castle Coin Party

On Friday we had our third castle coin celebration. This time we decided to have a "lights out" and "shoes off" day. I borrowed some small lamps and we turned off the overhead lights like we do for Read Aloud. It created a nice relaxing atmosphere for learning. We also got even more relaxed by taking our shoes off.

Happy Valentine's Day

Thank you to everyone who sent in an item to add to the trail mix today. We had a great mixture of healthy snacks with a few sweet treats thrown in. The students had a really fun time passing out and opening their cards. I hope you enjoy your long weekend, and I will see everyone next week.

Winter Party

Today was the winter celebration and the end of the semester. Our class made fruit and yogurt parfaits, and snacked on pumpkin bread and mimi muffins. Students made snowflake picture frames, and were given pictures I took earlier this week outside in the snow.
Thank you to all of the parents and guests who came and helped or sent in donations. I wish you a safe and happy holiday season, and I will see you in 2009!

20th Castle Coin

Today was our second Castle Coin celebration. The students are doing a really good job of following the Mary Castle expectations. They voted to have a movie and popcorn celebration this afternoon. Keep up the good work everyone!

Castle Coin Pajama Party

Today was our Castle Coin Celebration for earning 10 coins with good behavior. We voted as a class and decided to have a pajama day. So, just for today we did Reading Working in our pajamas, ate lunch in our pjs, and even went to specials in our slippers. We also worked with Microsoft Word and typed our Native American stories in computer lab. At the end of the day we watched a Reading Rainbow movie about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
