The class couldn't wait to discover what treasure awaited them at the end of our hunt around the school. Of course there is no greater treasure than a new book! We have loved this series and enjoyed the newest book, "Everything's Wrong!" We also enjoyed a small treat as we listened to the book!
We were so lucky to have a beautiful day for paddling and playing at the park in Winona. I was so proud of the students as they worked together to paddle their boats. They learned that it was challenging, but with everyone's help, we could be successful in completing the challenges. Winona has an awesome park for lunch and playing!
The kids had a blast picking out a smelly marker to use on their assignments for the day! Everything is more fun when you get to write with a smelly marker!
1) I have 3 kids.
2) I have 3 dogs.
3) I love to read.
The clue about having 3 dogs threw the class off. A few students have 3 children in their family, but nobody with 3 children also had 3 dogs. It was quite a surprise when our very own Mrs. Ferry came walking in as our mystery reader! She read "Dinosaurs Love Underpants," by Claire Freedman. The class loves Mrs. Ferry and could have asked her questions all day long! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to read us a story!
Today we went across the hall to buddy read with a kindergarten friend. It was great for our class to be able to share all of the books that we've written this spring along with listening to a kindergarten buddy read. We ended our time by sharing a treat.
The students were a bit confused when they popped our second balloon that said gum day. Where would they get the gum they asked? Of course Mrs. Howard came prepared for this fun balloon! Each student received a baggie with 4 pieces of gum that they could chew whenever they wanted throughout the day. According to 2nd graders, gum is pretty great!
1) My favorite things to do outside are bike riding and fishing.
2) My favorite things to do inside are playing video games and watching movies.
3) My favorite foods are ice cream and pizza.
This student felt very confident that all of these clues fit his dad, and he was right! He shared the story with us, "The Big Cheese." We loved asking him questions about all of the activities he's interested in. We have a group of boys that love playing video games so they had many questions about this topic. Thanks for reading to us!
