Book sale

I just found out about a book sale going on at the legion! It is still on tomorrow and there ate hundreds of great books for kids (and adults too) for 25 cents each! I bought three grocery bags full of books for six dollars!!! Hopefully you can attend and find some too!!!

Happy Friday!

We have had a fun yet busy week. See our Friday folder for some examples. Our classroom is developing some routines and procedures and we are getting into the swing of things! Here's an example of one corner that has come together. Happy weekend. Enjoy the sunshine!!!
Parent homework- the weekend folder.  Student homework- I Am A Star (in weekend folder).

Values!

We have been brainstorming ideas of what our classroom and school values would look like and sound like.  Today we took the opportunity to "pose" for pictures that would demonstrate either respect, responsibility, belonging, nurturing or learning.  Can you guess which picture belongs with which value?










Ask me about Caught in the Act and how it is helping us to see our school's values. 

Look at our blog to see examples of these values.
