Excitement!

     There are so many exciting things going on in class, I just don't know where to begin.  Not one, but TWO students completed subtraction in xtramath TODAY.  Whoo hoo!  They were both so proud of themselves, as they should be.

     We started presenting our famous person projects and they have been fantastic.  I'll post pictures to edline this weekend, so watch for that.

     The school Memorial Day program is this Friday at 9.  I'll tell you this, BRING TISSUES!  One second grade song is sung beautifully and is a real tear jerker.  The other will make you want to jump out of your seat and clap along.

     Muggie Maggie is finished.  She was finally tricked into learning cursive.  Teachers can be so clever.  We are now reading about octopuses and Sue.  Did you know Sue's head is the size of a refrigerator?  It's true.

     Math word problems continue to be the nemesis of some students.  The good news is that I'm seeing great improvement.  Let's keep that up.

     We've been using GoNoodle in class.  It's a free website with classroom brain breaks.  There are videos to wake us up and others to calm us down.  I'm thinking we will be needing more of the calming videos in the weeks to come.  The children are loving it.

     We are almost through the year but need just a few last minute supplies.  Allergy season is getting the best of us.  We could use a few boxes of tissues.  We could also use some Lysol Wipes to wash away all those sneezy germs.

     Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Let summer begin!!!
