Thursday

Surprise! Mrs. Clapper was the teacher in Room 7 today. Mrs. Bartsch's son was sick so I was the guest teacher for the day! It was a fun day full of lots of learning! We made the cover for our book of comments of when we said good bye to Mrs. Hansen. The children are at many varied reading levels. Each child should be able to read the first sentence in the book as well as the sentence they actually authored. Some students can read the whole book, and others need help on just a few of the tricky or extra long words! I used it as a learning tool to reinforce the word "said" and each child now gets to keep a highlighter in their school box as long as they only use it when the teacher says its OK!

We also planted some more seeds because only about 5 of our bean seeds actually sprouted. Hopefully we will see some results before our 5 day vacation at the end of the month.

Tomorrow is Music and Mrs. Bartsch will help us guess our new star student. Emma gets to take her poster and sentences that we wrote about her home!

Have fun at the Carnival and the next time I write on the BLOG it will be next Monday. I will have a computer with me and be connected most of the time. So email me if you have any questions.

One last thing, when I put together the Thursday newsletter and forgot to email the parents who like to be 'green' and just get it through email. So read those Thursday folders carefully this week and I will do try to do the electronic newletter to the parents that prefer it that way next week.

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Clapper
