Movie Premier

I can't believe that the end of the school year is here!  WOW...did this year go fast.  On Friday students entered school to find that they received a gold ticket to the World Premier of the Wonderful Whales DVD 2012-2013.  This ticket allowed them to walk the red carpet, where they got their pictures taken by the paparazzi, and then watched the movie.  (Paparazzi pictures below.)

As I was making this DVD I couldn't help but cry. I cried happy tears as I remembered all the fun that we had and to see how much they have grown.  There were also some tears of sadness as I thought about no being their teacher next year.  I feel extremely blessed to have spent this year with your amazing children.  We have laughed, sang, played, and learned together this school year.  I know they will all do GREAT next year.

Piggy "Tales"

To go with our farm theme this week we read three books where the main characters were PIGS!



 
We used these stories to inspire us to create our own PIG TALE!
Check out some of our stories and the cute craft project to go with.

Some more S'mores please!



We had so much fun during our camping week, but we especially loved making S'mores!  However, before Mrs. Wanke was going to let us make S'mores, we had to write step by step directions on how to make a S'mores.

To get us familiar with the idea of writing directions, Mrs. Wanke had us write directions on how to get her to climb up the pole and slide down the slide on the playground. We all thought that this was going to be simple, but this proved to be harder than expected. By Wednesday, we were ready to start writing directions  for making S'mores.

On Friday, Mrs. Wanke read our directions and tried to make a S'mores based upon on our directions.  Some of us had the perfect S'mores...others not so much.  Regardless of our directions, we all enjoyed eating this yummy campfire treat!
