Applesauce

The children helped make applesauce by using a plastic knife to cut the apple slices into small pieces to mix in the blender.  Just add a little water while blending.  Put in a cup and sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar.  Most of the children liked it.

Mystery Reader

Elsa's Great Aunt came to read A Box for Katje.  It was a wonderful story of friendship.

Journal Writing

We wrote an "I can" sentence in our journal.  We all wrote "I can" together as a class working on proper handwriting and spacing between words.  Some children stayed in the group to finish the sentence together and other children wrote an idea by themselves using sound spelling.

Picture Day

We read the book "Class Picture Day" by Andrea Buckless.  Ask your child why all the children are sticking out their tongues in these pictures.  It follows what happens at the end of the story.

Thanks, Catie!

Catie brought in items for our classroom for her birthday.  They will get lots of use this year.

A New Class Book

We made a class book for our talent show.  Check out these great readers sharing their page for the book.  Can is one of our snap words this week.

Talent Show

We had a great talent show!  We have lots of talent in room 19!

Poem Reading

Check out our friends reading the poem called "All By Myself"

Snap Game

Here is a game you can play at home to help your child learn the snap words.  The words are called "snap word" because we should be able to read and spell them quickly.  The game will be more fun when their are more words.

Happy Birthday, Catie!

Enjoy our silly song.

Catie's Birthday

Pop, Pop, Pop

Logan's Birthday

We looked great in our red and pink today!  Logan bought some gifts for the class for his birthday.  Thank you, Logan!

Logan's Birthday

Birthdays are special at Concord.  Logan wants everyone to wear some red or pink tomorrow to celebrate his birthday.  I told the class each child will do this on his/her birthday.  If the birthday falls on a weekend, we will celebrate either Friday or Monday.  If the birthday fall on a holiday, we will do it before or after.  If the birthday is in the summer, we will celebrate sometime in May.

Mystery Reader

Scarlett's dad read A Bad Case of Stripes to the class.  We loved this funny color books.

Color Mixing

We used Cool Whip to mix colors.  We learned that red, yellow and blue are primary colors.  The best part was eating the purple, orange and green Cool Whip!

Sorting

We have practiced sorting by color, shape and size.

Color Songs

We are learning color songs to help us read and spell the color words.  We have learned the red, yellow, green and purple songs.  A book will come home soon once we learn all the color songs.  Here is the class singing the red song.
