Love

Have I told you all how much I love my class, lately? Well, I do!
They are the BOMB!
Thank you for sharing them with me!!!

Study!!!

This week's timed test will cover our 0's, 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's! The boys and girls will have 3 minutes to answer 50 problems.
We will be learning our 9's and 11's this week!!!
STUDY PLEASE!!!!

Earth Materials Unit



We opened up our unit on Earth Materials with "Mock" rocks. Yes, these are homemade rocks!
The students measured them, weighed them, and took them apart!




We learned that rocks are earth materials made up of more than one ingredient. Our job was to separate all the different ingredients that made up our mock rocks!
They found red and green gravel, shells, and lots of powdery material.
We wanted to see if we could separate the powder material anymore, so we added it to water. We did a lot of shaking before we let it settle overnight.

Shake! Shake! Shake!


You will have to ask your child what he/she observed the next morning!

School Tomorrow at 10:00

School will be back in session tomorrow with a delayed start. Please be extremely careful making your way to Julian Harris. I look forward to seeing my sweet students!

I will send home a revised schedule of the "Where We Are Heading This Month" that was attached to your child's report card last Friday. Pretty much everything will just be pushed back one week. There will be no tests this FRIDAY!!!

Since my newsletter would not make sense to you now for this week, I just junked it! I will send one home next Tuesday since we are out on Monday for MLK. Also, do not expect any graded papers coming home anytime soon either. Wow, this is crazy!!!!

I hope you all have enjoyed the snow!

Student of the Month for Achievement

Garrett Free Way to go, Garrett! You are one BRIGHT boy!!

Hundreds Charts

We spent two days using hundred charts to help us skip count by 2's, 3's, 4's ......12's.
When the boys and girls finished coloring in their charts, we spent some time looking for patterns and trying to explain them.

Playing Around With Multiplication

Last week, we read this book and made our own lists of things that come in 2's, 3's, 4's,.....12's. They worked in groups and came up with some creative things.
We then took these lists to create our own multiplication problems. We used words, pictures, and numbers to answer our problems.
They did a great job with this!!

Snow, Snow, and More Snow!

The Coon House on January 10, 2011! We measured 8 inches of snow. Unbelievable!!! It was a beautiful site!!! Everytime I looked out the window, I couldn't help but to smile!!

New Year's Eve


New Year's Eve, consisted of several of us buddies sitting around at my house waiting for some good news from one of our precious running buddies, Lindsey Bowling! At 8:00 PM, we finally got the text we have been waiting for that said, "I AM ENGAGED!!!" Because of this good news, we all stayed up way pass our bedtime just so we could see the ROCK!
After making her rounds to show off her ring, she finally came over to share it with us! She even brought a video of the proposal for us to watch! It was so precious! We all felt so honored to get to share this special moment with her!

She is going to make a beautiful BRIDE!!!!

A cute picture of Lindsey and her fiance (Wow! That sounds weird!). He is wearing sunglasses because the ROCK is so bright and he is showing her how his wallet is now empty!!! Too cute!


CONGRATULATIONS RYAN AND LINDSEY!
