Word Family Study

We've been learning about the letter u and the sounds it makes. Our word study lesson was on the "ug" word family!  During our study, we learned about a special kind of dog---Pug dogs.

We read several stories about this kind of dog and we found out that Mrs.Lawrence has one!

This is Sasi!

She came to school to visit us so we could see what a real pug dog looks like!

 

After she left, we wrote a class story about Pugs:

After we wrote our story we analyzed our writing! 

We found out that we wrote

 8 sentences and 10 sight words!

Check out all the great fun we had learning with some of our Technologies this week!

During Working With Words  time, we reviewed our letter sounds using our

"Smart Board and Clickers"

These are really Smart Response Systems, but we like to just call them our "Clickers"

With just a 'click of a button', Mrs. Lawrence can tell who knows their letters.

Of course, We ALL know our letters, but we have fun anyway!!!

Check out our new Smart Table

Our SMART Table is an interactive learning center.  It's just like the SMART Board, only it's on wheels and can roll all around our school!! It is a 'multitouch, multiuser' table---that is just 'Fancy Nancy' talk to let you know that lots of students can use the table at the same time!  We can have up to 8 students working on the table at one time and we all get to manipulate the objects AT THE SAME TIME!

This is Mrs. Jordan. She is our Curriculum Technologist! We think she's 'Cool'!

      Who knew that Working With Words could be so much fun!

Check us out, we are busy little bees!

 

It's Working With Words time again, only this time we get to use Mrs. Lawrence's IPAD to read sentences!

 

 



Check out our Moble Computer Lab!

We practice our phonics skills using fun websites.

We had so much fun at our Valentine's Day Party! 

We celebrated with an Old Fashioned Ice Cream Social

and everyone came dressed in 1950"s style cloths!!! 

Most of us wore our jeans rolled up but some of us wore

poodle skirts and saddle oxford shoes!

We had Bananna Split ice cream sundaes 

and listened to the music from the 50's!

We found out that music in the 50's was played on something called a "jukebox", we really thought that was funny:)

Our favorite song was "At the Hop"

Another Construction Update!

We thought our construction worker friends were finished, but we were wrong!!! 

 Today our friends were working right outside our window! 

They were making lots of noise. 

They were on a big ladder and were hammering on the wall.

  We could see sparks coming from their tools and

then we smelled lots of smoke coming into our room! 

It really smelled bad.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE!    

                                             

                                  

 Looks like our construction worker friends are almost finished!

They are still working on the outside and the new classrooms, but the bathrooms are ready to use.

We love our new bathrooms, they have lots of room.  We love the "magic sinks"!

The hand dryers are great, but VERY LOUD!!!!!
