We started our CHAMPS assemblies last Friday. CHAMPS assemblies are designed to teach the school about character traits. It is also a time for students to be recognized for showing outstanding character. Students receive awards for work they have done in the classroom. Above are photos of our first two CHAMPS assembly winners. We are proud of all our students and look forward to more awards!

Note and homework in my folder.

We started our day off with morning message where we wrote about lunch and what we could eat with it. After we wrote the message we went back and revised it by adding adjectives. Adjectives make our stories longer and make them more interesting. We worked on spelling next followed by a story about winter. We had to read about winter then answer some questions about it. Sam’s sister, Anna, came to read us a story. The story was called Priscilla and the Great Santa Search. After lunch we did number corner and worked on telling time to the half hour. Then we played time bingo. In time bingo we had to look for time to the hour and half hour. After bingo we went to math centers where we worked on subtraction, telling time, and addition. PE was next. We played free centers after our warm up. The warm up was called Pancake. It is when we run around the gym and when Coach Underwood stops the music we drop to the floor like a pancake.

Book orders due Friday. Note in my folder.

We started our day at 10:00 today because we had so much snow on the ground we delayed the opening of school. But when we got here we went to morning meeting then came to the classroom and did morning message. Morning message was about what we did in the snow. Laura threw a snowball at her dad, Kassisdy and her sister made a mini snowman, and Jacob’s dad pushed him down a hill in a laundry basket. Everybody had a good time in the snow. Next, we got out our dry erase boards and worked on our new no excuse words then and them. We have a spelling test on Friday! Then we worked on a poem about January. We sang the poem and highlighted nouns and verbs in it. Lunch was next followed by number corner. After number corner we drew a picture of our favorite snow activity and wrote about it. Then we read a book called The Biggest Best Snowman Ever. It was about a little girl named Nell, Big Mama, Big Lizzie, and Big Sarah. They would not Little Nell do ANYTHING! It made her feel bad so she decided to go into the Big Woods and play with her animal friends. Her animal friends helped her build the Biggest Best Snowman ever. She proved to her family that she could do something and she is not to little to do things. Ready bodies was next and we made it to all the stations. Then we came back to the room and read Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr. This week will be reading and talking about him and his dream.
