What a fun week!

What a fun, fun week!!!  This week in IC we have been learning all about careers.  Our very own nurse Jen came and talked to the kids.  They loved hearing all about staying healthy.  We had Officer Tom come too.  I think every hand in the audience was raised for both guest speakers!

The kids also made items in class which would help them in their future careers.  We had "bad-guy catchers".  

We had thermometers.

We had computers.

I was very impressed with the creativity! 

Twitter Tuesday's Topic was: What does the word CREATIVITY mean to you?  

Follow us on #Cubcnn for the answers to this question and more.  :) Every Tuesday we have a question we present to the class, and we tweet their answers.  It is read at CubCNN, our morning announcements.  

Today was Pumpkin Math.  Meet Tom.  That was the name the kids voted on for our pumpkin.  

When the kids went to Art Tom lost his front tooth!  They were so excited!  The kids also voted on how they wanted Tom to look.  Shapes of eyes, nose and mouth.  

The kids counted the seeds in groups of 10.  We had 588 seeds!  We weighed Tom, found out if he would sink or float, counted his seams and found out it took 51 unification cubes to go around Tom.  We had a blast!  You can see more at #christielearns.  We had a blast!

What a fun-filled week!  :) I just love the kids so much!!!

Room Parent Needed

We are in need of a room parent.  If you are interested please let me know I will forward your information to our fabulous coordinator (who just happens to be one of our very own!  Thank you!!)

A room parent is in charge of planning and executing three class parties throughout the year.  You will collaborate with other parents to plan these parties.  The day of the party you will come early to prepare for the party, make sure it is a success and clean up.  We appreciate your time and efforts making this a special day for the kids!

Again, if you are interested please let me know, and I will pass on your information.  

Thank you!

Happiness

I wake up each day excited for another day with the kids!  This is the perfect quote for our classroom!!

I strive to make our class a warm and safe place to smile, learn and love.  I know that is what I do daily with the kids.

Do You Know Your Address and Phone Number?

Driving to school when my son was in Pre-K I remember telling him Mommy's phone number.  We repeated it a few times before I dropped him off.  I was blown away when I picked him up from school, and he was still reciting my phone number!  

This week in IC we are talking about diversity, in our school, neighborhood, and the world.  Today's lesson was about the diversity of where people live. This lesson stressed the importance of knowing your address and parent(s) phone number(s).  Please help your child learn these if they do not already know.  We had a lot of proud kids today as they could recite addresses and phone numbers.  I just savor those proud moments in the kids!
