Happy Birthday Madeline!

Today, we celebrated Madeline's birthday a little early. Her birthday is in June when we will not be in school, so she brought her birthday book in a month early. She brought in Madeline at the White House by John Bemelmans Marciano. The kids loved the title of the book and how it goes with who brought it in. There was good rhythm and rhyme to the story as well. This is our first Madeline book to add to our classroom library.

Special Visitor

On Friday, we had a special visitor. We have been talking about the ocean and the life in the ocean. My aunt is a certified scuba diver and Dive Master. She came to talk to my class about some of her adventures while scuba diving and some of her gear. The kids loved looking at the pictures and seeing some of the things she brought.

Happy Birthday Carter!

Today we also celebrated Carter's birthday. He brought in the book The Disappearing Mountain and Other Earth Mysteries. This is a great science book where the kids have to use some clues to try and figure out why some mysterious things are happening to the earth. I had to reassure the kids that many of the things could not happen where we live.

Happy Birthday Lydia!

Today we celebrated Lydia's birthday. She brought in Judy Moody and Stink: The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Treasure Hunt by Megan McDonald. This is a chapter book, so we only read one chapter, but I can tell the kids are going to enjoy it.
