And.... the Math-a-Thon!

We got to do our Math-a-Thon with our Kindergarten friends in Ms. Grams room!  :)

And....

Ms. Samuelson's class came in a did a Reader's Theater presentation called "Hey Little Ant"

Celebrations... so far...

This morning the children got to enjoy the treat they earned by working hard on math skills the entire month of October.  The treat consisted of apple slices and carmel!!!

Cute Quote

During snack today I heard a student say, "I'm never spending my quarters, diamonds, or pennies!"

A Grand Tradition

We had a guest reader in our room today.  One of last year's students came back as a first grader and read a Mercer Mayer book to the class.  This is a long standing tradition that former students come back and read.  I don't even have to arrange it... they come up and ask me to do it!  When they are done reading, they tell about the importance of practice with the incentive that they, too, can come back and read if they practice and get better at their reading!

Today's Art Project

Your children earned an extra art project set up and prepared by our own Ms. Shar who we love, love, love!!!!!!  They did this by cleaning up quickly, being quiet in the hall, and getting compliments from other teachers about their behavior.  They earn a 'bee' each time this happens and when they fill up a 10 frame with bees, they get a reward.  Shar says she thinks this is the earliest any class has ever earned a reward.

Here are some pictures from the fun project they earned today!  Way to go, class!

Getting ready...

Homework!

I am sending homework with the children today.  Things have gotten a bit out of routine because I have been both attending trainings and have been out with an injury.  I figured earlier in the week might be better than later this week for homework.  Please read through the directions.  If you have any questions, please text me or email me!

Interesting Information

Field Trip Pictures

Refreshed

The children (and teachers) came back refreshed from the break.  This morning during play time, the children created an airplane.  I am not sure where they were going, but it was a full flight with pets included!

I thought it was very authentic as there was very little leg room!

Pizza Party!

Start your three days off from the school routine with pizza from Dominoes!  Using the form that was sent home with your child, order a pizza and let them know you are from Discovery Elementary!  The funds we raise help pay for field trips and classroom necessities.

You can even order online!!!

The class that has the most pizzas ordered wins a pizza party some time in the near future, so don't forget to tell them your child is in Ms. Tacke's class!

Enjoy your break!
