HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to the year 2012!  We are all excited to be back in school.  Tomorrow we hope Josh remembers to bring in his Movie : A Dolphin's Tale, so we can watch it.  Teacher actually got to see Winter, the Dolphin in the movie, over our Winter break.  So, we are going to be learning about Dolphins!

If you are interested in seeing Winter via a Livecam (a camera like a video recorder, that shows you what Winter is doing Right NOW)...go to     www.seewinter.com

We got to watch her today at school!

Teacher says we need to remember to bring in our boots and shoes, now that there is snow outside. 

Until next time!  The coyote bloggers!

Vacation Prep!

We are finishing up some last minute things before we go on our 2 week break.  Nathan is painting a dough ornament we did last week, and Melissa is taking a reading test on the computer.  Tomorrow is our Christmas parties, and saying good byes to our friends until next year!  Some of us went Caroling today to the Extended Care Center.  We like doing this!  Have a great Holiday!

Door Decorations!

Wow...we had 4 students absent today!  That is a third of our classroom.  So, we did some reading, some editing and writing, and then we worked on our door decorations for the school contest.  Of course Teacher likes to make everything a lesson.  We counted days til break, until Christmas, we measured our elves, etc.  (She's a sly one Mr. Grinch!)...

Here is a picture of our Naughty and Nice list for Today, and also Some of our door decorating!   ENJOY

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

We may not have snow yet! We think this is very unusual.  We always have snow this time of year.  Anyway...we are all ready for a break, and we are starting to get into each other's business, and we like to argue lately too.  SO, we decided to create a "Naughty & Nice" list.  Our names will go in the category according to our behavior for the day.  OH...and we can go back and forth from nice to naughty to nice again.  Teacher will take a picture of the board at the end of every day, and reward those who have been on the NICE list more than the NAUGHTY one!   Guess we better be NICE for goodness sake!

AH...the best photo yet!

AH...THIS IS WHAT A WORKING CLASSROOM LOOKS LIKE!  Look at these terrific students working hard on their math facts!  GREAT JOB! 

Fun Learning...

How many pencils can we get in Autumn's ponytails?  TEN!  That was fun!

Josh is giving us a nice play-by-play of a book he read.  (This is the part where the man is "in love"!) 

We are still working on fractions.  We have also started a new handwriting...called Handwriting without tears.  We really like it.

We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend!

Spelling Lists and Thanksgiving!

Spelling lists are coming home today! I have put a copy of them on here in case you don't see them.  We are on Lesson 6, Lesson 5 was this past week.  Spelling tests will be next Friday, 12-2-11.  WOW can you believe it will be December already!

Have a very wonderful, safe Thanksgiving.
