1) The top class in the school will give Ms. Kemp a CRAZY makeover
2) Every class with $60 per lap will allow the highest pledger to pie the teacher (YIKES!)
3) Every class with a total of $75 per lap will win a pizza party

The top class in grade K-2 will get a silly string run on the day of the run.

Teachers get 10% back from everything collected when pledging is done.  That's money directly helping our classroom!

Thank you in advance for whatever support you are able to provide.  Don't forget to register!

Scientific Method

We learned about the steps in the scientific method last week. Students were able to execute their experiments and share their results with each other. The question was :"how tall can I stack cups before the tower falls over?". I loved seeing their different methods.

Sweet moment

At the end of one particular day students could look through one of my book baskets. I found Lucy reading to Olivia and Tony and loved how she kept their attention!

First Week

We had an amazing first week of school.  The children are well on their way to learning the rituals and routines of the classroom.  I feel so fortunate to have such a great group of students to work with.  Phonics homework begins today (the 22nd) and continue to read nightly with your child.
Hoping to post a few pictures soon from last week!

I-ready testing

Luke and Zane were our top growth earners in reading while Abby made the highest score. So proud of these kids!

Planets

We recently learned there are 8 planets in our solar system. The children learned their names, facts about each one, and the order they are in working your way out from the sun.
The kids also got to write about which planet they would want to visit. We have been working on stating our opinions along with two reasons. I was so impressed with their reasons for visiting a variety of the planets.

Aspiring Astronauts

We learned about the race to get a man on the moon. The students learned this was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission and even heard Neil Armstrong's famous words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".
Afterwards children were able to try "astronaut ice cream" while they filled at an application to become an astronaut.
My favorite response to the question " Why do you think you would make a good astronaut?" Was "beacause I would bring some good information back".
