Parents,
Here are some cute art pics from last week - Mrs. Christensen has been doing a great multiple-week art lesson teaching perspective. Enjoy! ;)
There's also a picture of Jarrett, who took FIRST PLACE in Math Olympiads overall! Way to go, Jarrett!
Thank you for all you do parents, and enjoy your last week off-track!

Updates for April!
A quick apology - I usually update the class blog more often, but, given that I am in my masters program, the time has become more limited! I will try to update as often as possible so that you can see into our classroom a little more often ;)
Here are some fun updates of what we have been doing and learning about in our class.... I think you will agree that we are enjoying our learning!
First, we had a little fun with our "pet rocks"... after learning about the 3 types of rocks (ask your kids, they should be able to tell you all about how they are created!), they got to make a new friend :)
NEXT: Kids had a ton of fun during soil learning about the 3 types in the soil profile, as well as what lives in the soil. We got to examine our own samples, then used our magnifying glasses to examine each student's sample. We had SO many gross yet fun things in there! And, the kiddos learned that not all soil is the same, and that decaying matter lends to the soil color!

Happy Spring!
Today is officially the first day of Spring! I'm going to post some fabulous pictures... your kids are amazing with art!
This art lesson, taught by Somer Christensen (our amazing room mother!) was on pop art... and the kids made some great pictures!

On St. Patrick's Day, we used lucky charms cereal to graph... and we also made fractions out of our food! This was seriously fun - AND magically delicious! We love math, and we love to have fun doing it!

parent/teacher conferences!
Parents,
Don't forget - parent/teacher conferences are Thursday and Friday, the 10th & 11th (this week!). I'm excited to see all of you again and to work on goals that your student might have for the rest of this term.
Also, tonight is Zupas night (the 8th)... hopefully I will see you all there!
We have so much fun in our classroom - here are some pictures of art that we have recently completed.
Have a great day!

It's been awhile... updates!
It has been awhile since I have blogged. I have some updates and some fun pictures! I will be posting more things later - I thought it would be great to post pics of great student work so that kiddos can see themselves on the class blog. We have so much fun each day!
Wahoo! We have a second class tarantula! Ellie is a Chilean Rosehair... not sure on age or gender, as it was a present, but she's gorgeous (hard to see but she's actually slightly pink!)... and as you can see, I can handle her! The kids enjoyed looking at her!
The class Valentine's Day party was phenomenal! Here we have Devyn with one of the winning V-day boxes (winners get a candy bar, wahoo!) Very retro, Devyn, way to go!!!
These are the other 5 winners of the V-day box contest... check them out! So cute!
Class Valentine's Day Party Pics 2016! Thanks to all the awesome parents who came in to help, it was much appreciated (as evidenced by the smiles all around the room!)

So You Want to Build a Snowman?
Yesterday, we decided to make snowmen as part of our object lesson for writing. Kids had to work in teams to problem solve how to get the snow to pack, what methods worked the best, etc. In addition to having fun and problem solving, we were able to then go back to the classroom and brainstorm ideas for our informative essay on "How to Build a Snowman". Hurray! The kiddos and I had tons o' fun! Here are a few pics!
