Busy Friday!

     Most of these pictures were taken on Friday.  We did literacy and math centers in the morning.  We then planted our pumpkin seeds.  The kids participated in team-wide challenge activities.  Mine was marshmallow launching (catapults).   After lunch, the kids read from their book baggies.  We are practicing gaining stamina with reading.  The kids spread out around the room and read until the timer went off.  They decided to set a goal of 10 minutes of uninterrupted reading by the end of school.  I'm confident they will reach that goal.  We also said goodbye to another college helper, Mr.  Kim.  He is heading back to California for the summer.  We'll miss seeing him during math center time. 

Pumpkin Planting







Thank you, MHS volunteers.  We enjoyed having you!


 Marshmallow Catapults







Time to build reading stamina. . . .












Goodbye, Mr. Kim!




Gecko!

Thanks to J's mom for bringing in their new pet gecko.  
The kids were very interested in him.








Earlier in the week,  a few kids brought in books from home to share.  The rest of the kiddos were a good audience for them.








Whoa! These two girls were so proud of themselves for completing this 100 piece puzzle.  Good brain work, ladies!
