Fun from the week of January 12th

We were so excited to finally have a full week of school after the holiday break and then the crazy weather!  We were very busy this past week.  Here are some pictures of the fun learning we had together!

Lauren Star of the Week

Lauren was our Star of the Week this past week.  Lauren brought in some pictures to share with us as well as her favorite toy and book.  We enjoyed reading her book!  Thank you for sharing with us, Lauren!

Christmas Celebration!

We enjoyed the movie this morning with all of our West Elementary friends.  It was so fun to see the theater packed.  Thank you PIE group and the Hoyman family for sponsoring this event!

We also had a fun afternoon!  We were sad to see Joey the Elf have to leave to head back to the North Pole.  We enjoyed having him visit our classroom!  We were so excited that his note said that if we ate a kiss, we could give him a quick pat on the head or back before he left.  We also enjoyed opening presents from our teachers and a special pizza snack!

Playing bingo

Today Joey shared his favorite game, Christmas Bingo, with us!  We had fun playing the game and loved winning an Elf chocolate when we got our first Bingo!  We also read Joey's favorite book, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas! Joey found a great spot to watch us play today!

Ag in the Classroom

Thank you to Farm Bureau and for sponsoring today's Ag in the Classroom!  We had fun learning about Sounds on the Farm.  First we listened to a story and then we looked at pictures of different animals and things on the farm.  We named the pictures and made the sound.  Then we played a game where we had to listen to different sounds and try to name them.  We were awesome at this game-we also did a great job of raising our hands rather than blurting out the answers!

Guest Readers for DEAR Day

Today we were lucky to have 2 special guest readers in our classroom!  Mrs. Straw, Lily's mom, read to us this morning.  She shared one of Lily's favorite books, Dream Snow by Eric Carle.  We loved how the tree was all sparkly at the end and the music it played.  Thank you Mrs. Straw!

Then this afternoon, Mrs. Larson visited us to read Max's Christmas and The Very Snowy Christmas.  We love having guest readers.  Thank you Mrs. Larson!
