Buddy Group Visit

Our middle school buddy group came to visit today!! They helped us finish up our unit on Johnny Appleseed. During September we learned many exciting facts about Johnny Appleseed (your child can tell you all about him J ) Each middle school buddy was paired with a friend where they made a Johnny Appleseed puppet. The students had a great time with their buddy! Thanks Mrs. White!!

Special Visitors!

Friday we had many special visitors come to our classroom. Two football players came by to pump up the students for the game! Our class helped cheer on the Eagles to a victory! We also had members of the baseball team stop by. The kids showed off their amazing reading skills during the visit. The baseball players will be reading with the students throughout the school year. 

Baby Johnston!


Abram is expecting a new baby brother or sister any day now! The class put together a pictograph of what they think the baby is going to be. Looks like the boy votes won! We can’t wait to meet baby Johnston!

We have began centers…Finally! The kids are so excited! The centers they get to participate in each week are Library, Word Work, Listening, Writing, Read and Write the Room, and Out of the Box.

Welcome!

Welcome to our class blog! I am excited to give you a glimpse into our classroom and what we do throughout the day.  Last week we read the book The Bear Who Wouldn’t Share. After reading, we discussed the difference between realism and fantasy. They really enjoyed the story and loved doing the character voices. Here are some pictures of the students reading the book in pairs.
