"Salutations..."

Friday, April 10, 2015

I am very excited about my "Salutations" Project through Donors Choose! My 2nd graders are going to be thrilled to read E.B. White's beloved novel, Charlotte's Web.


I have purchased books for small groups, but I have never had a complete class set of books. This will be fun for my students to have their own copy of the book to actually hold in their hands as we read.

I am looking forward to our Charlotte's Web Unit! I have a lot planned from writing activities, art projects, and even some STEM experiments. I can hardly wait. 

If you would like to help my students experience this unit, please make a donation to my "Salutations" Project and help us get a class set of books. Also, using the promo code [SPARK] when you donate will allow your donation to be matched by Donors Choose

Thank you for helping my 2nd graders and future students, to be able to experience all of the life lessons in this novel and to strengthen their love of reading, writing, and STEM skills!

Digital Learning Day...

Digital Learning Day!

We had a great week celebrating Digital Learning Day, on March 13, 2015.

First, we worked on a new program, called Storybird, and wrote some wonderful stories and books. If you haven't checked out Storybird, I suggest you do. Your kids will LOVE it! 


Then, we listened to our superintendent read an inspiring book called "What Do You Do With an Idea?" by Kobi Yamada.

We brainstormed ideas for things that we could do as a class and also individually to make the world a better place. My 2nd graders decorated an Egg, and then wrote their personal "Big Idea" on a slip of paper and put it inside. 

Decorating...
Adorable "Big Ideas..."

The "Big Idea" we came up with as a class, was to collect travel sized items and put them in our "Bags of Love." We will give our bags to an organization that will give them out to the homeless in our community. We set a goal of 50 items in the week, and by the end of that week we had over 100. 

The next week we set a goal of 500 and opened it up for our entire school to donate, and we collected 400+ before we left on Spring Break. When we get back from break, we will do a final count and see if we reached our goal. The kids are so excited about our "Big Idea." 

If you would like to donate to our "Bags of Love," leave me a message with your email, and I will be in touch. Thank you, enjoy your Spring Break. 

I have been relaxing and working on fun things to do in the last few months of our school year.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss Day

I am looking forward to the activities I have planned for my 2nd graders tomorrow to celebrate Dr. Seuss, and for them to search around on the Seussville website.

Little treat bags for their desks with some red fish and an eraser.


I saw this picture on Pinterest, and sketched it out on paper, then colored in with may favorite Mr. Sketch markers! =)I can't wait to hang it up on my door. 


Amazon Prime is such a life saver too! I ordered a few things for Monday, and it all came today! Adorable "Thing 1 and Thing 2" headbands for my kiddos to wear, Seuss pennant, stuffed Lorax, character finger puppets, books, etc...


Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, we are going to Read, Read, and Read!
