Stuffed animal time


(cute pic, huh?)
The stuffed animal on the right is the newest edition to our Webkinz family. The new animal came as a present from one of my students. I use it as a "class pet". The students have an opportunity to take it to their  home and then they write a creative journal entry in its journal and read to it. It is a very clean animal and so easy to take care in the classroom. So the caterpillar spent the holidays with us.

My own kids fought over it all over Christmas break so we started playing a game....hide n seek. I hid the stuffed animals and the kids had to look for them. They had so much fun looking for them and it was a great way to spend the cold day inside.

After I put son to bed....he comes to me after the 2nd time and says, "Hey Mom, I put my jammies on my dog!" Too cute! Then he fell into a deep sleep and I am not just talking about the dog. :)

Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
