Field Trip Photos

Here are a few of the photos I took on our field trip last week. It was a perfect day for a field trip. We enjoyed the movie (along with popcorn, pop, and Sixlets), the park (lunch, playing, ice cream sandwiches, friends), and the library (Charlie the Caterpillar was a great story). Thanks again to all of the parents and grandparents who helped chaperone this amazing trip.

Symmetry Lesson

Miss Ashleigh led a really nice symmetry lesson in centers last week. She talked with the children about how when you fold paper and cut a design with the center on the fold you end up with a full shape. With the cool spring shapes they created, Miss Ashleigh was able to make a really fun and bright bulletin board in our classroom.

Function Machine

We've been working on simple addition and subtraction a lot lately. The function machine is a way to make it a little more fun.

Quackers for Snack

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. End of the year testing, data entry, and closing activities have kept me really busy. In the next couple of days, I will post a few of my favorite photos over the last couple of weeks.


I was stretching a bit for Q snacks. We enjoyed quackers (pringles in our mouths like a duck bill). This child spontaneously started quacking and flapping - fun photo!!!

Miss Ashleigh Reads A Story

Miss Ashleigh, a Cadet Teacher from the Vo-Tech Center, has been doing a lot of things to help in our classroom. She now helps all afternoon on Tuesday thru Thursday. Ashleigh read a really fun story (made even more fun by replacing the Principal's name with Mr. Dalm) last week. Hope you enjoy the story too.

AM Reads at Briarwood

The children love reading to the residents at Briarwood. In fact, Jake said he wished we could do it every day.

Unfortunately, there we a few residents who weren't feeling well and some who where with the doctor. The children enjoyed reading to each other when there weren't adults available.

Although we had rainy weather for the walk over, you can see that the children made the best of that situation also. Is that six children under one umbrella?

PM Reads at Briarwood

I think I finally figured out how to post a video!!!

This video shows afternoon students reading to the residents at Briarwood. It was very rewarding to watch the children read to the residents. They did very, very well and really impressed everyone with their reading ability.
