Piece by piece

Today in Social Studies we reviewed what a compass rose is and it's use on a map.  I blew the dust off our pull down maps and the students were in awe...you would have thought it was a new technological devise but better. No wires, pens, cursor or batteries.  We followed up with a giant floor puzzle of the United States.  Using several maps I encouraged them to team up  to name states and use new vocabulary; north, south, east and west.  Piece by piece; state by state and rotation after rotation they all worked together and added to their work.  They completed! 

Our "100" Day Celebration Projects!  They were all fabulous and very creative!

Read Across America

Going along with our theme ,Wacky Wednesday, we started with our last subject first and ended our day with our first subject.  We came up with words to describe our socks we decorated yesterday.  Getting first graders to understand 'adjectives' is rather tricky.  Thinking like a first grader I asked them to use their senses.  What do you see, feel, hear, smell or taste?  Fortunately, I did not have to touch or smell any socks in the completion of this assignment. Pictures to come soon. 
Today was a great day!

Spring is here!

I'm still dabbling with all this blog thing.  I have so much to learn.  I hope my picture uploads.

CC Junior Deputy Fair day!

Hard to believe my son attended this morning. My husband and I can remember going when we were in fourth grade, though   decades ago.  Time is flying by, I want it to slow down.

Today is another day down. Excited for the new afternoon changes. I hope to see a pleasant change. Our weather is feeling like summer...sunny and warm. I love it! Hope to post pictures, though I am still learning.

Today was our first Monday in a long time that we can say we were all feeling a bit better. We still have a a few sniffles here and there but we our on our way to getting healthier in time for our March 21, 2012 field trip.

Being Sick is no fun!

So being sick is no fun for me as i am sure it is for no one!!! this is unlike me and i am going for another follow up on monday afternoon. i do hope to make it and not sit in urgent care over the weekend. im looking forward to church tomorrow, afternoon softball practice for my daughter and birthday party for my son. i can't wait to relish in some reading, blogging and pinning while waiting. so my sweet and caring husband made me a home remedy for my coughing spell last night; i know his heart was in the right right place but he nearly sent me to the ER. anyone have any home remedies that help with coughing and congestion? honey lemon and a shot of clear expensive stuff was not good for me. im sure under other circumstances that may have been fun...but not lately.

Yeah for Saturday

Really want to get out and make my to do list but I think I will live by  the moment today.  I'm enjoying the Su.rise.
