Great Week!

I have been a terrible blogger this week! I promise to do better! I have been testing like crazy and have 2 more next week. My kids will also complete the LRSD middle of the year writing prompt and Unit 3 literacy test. The data collected helps drive my instruction and customize lessons.














We started the week celebrating Jack Kella's birthday!!! We had fun celebrating with you!














Traditional birthday selfie!!
















Jack's sweet mom and grandmother surprised him at lunch! I loved the balloon. I have always said balloons make people feel special. :)















Another big event was celebrated! Cole lost his first tooth! That polo shirt was too cute!!





These 2 rocked the subtraction partner game!!










We have worked and worked and worked some more on subtraction! This is a hard skill to master. The hardest part is finding the start number. The change and difference was easy for them, but the missing start number was tricky. I have complete faith they will all master this skill. We learned to use "subtraction strategies" to help solve the problem. The number line and counters helped the most. They LOVE to use their fingers too. :) Eventually we want them to discontinue that and use mental strategies. It will come with time.
















Great job Jaiden! He is a math whizz!!
















Belle did fabulous too!!
















We paired up with the art teachers for a special Valentine's Day parent gift! The kids got to learn about the kiln and how it works. We looooove our art teacher!!!
















I am blown away with the princess basket auction items for Roberts Rendezvous. Wow!!! Thank you to those who donated! I have to say this basket will be over the top for sure!!! Mrs. Wendy has the items and putting the basket together! Thank you for doing that!!







































































































Belle and her two friends, Alyssa and Sophie Greene, donated this life size Elsa! They are 2 friends from Mrs. Skinner's class. Thank you!!

























Mrs. Wendy visited and talked about our February "Acts of Love" service project for Ukrainian orphans. So many of my kids saw the movie Annie, so they were able to connect with an orphanage. She showed us pictures of her daughter's orphanage. I am so excited about this project! Read the note below for specific details and I will send a copy home on Monday.















Have a wonderful weekend!














Sweet Lola Belle brought Mr. Scooter a yummy large piece of vegan lasagna. How sweet is that? Her mom, Amanda, is a fabulous vegan cook!!! Such a sweet act of kindness. :) Lola Belle also gave 2.00 of her own money to our acts of love fund!

A big thanks to everyone that donated!! The 2 counselors, 4 para pros and Mr. Smokey will each receive a 10.00 GC to Sonic or CFA!! February is all about kindness and "acts of love".
