Contact UsAll in a Day’s Work…
It’s been a little while since I shared some day to day activities happening in our classroom. Although I don’t have them all tied perfectly together in a tidy little theme, this is the real deal of what we are learning! It’s a bit all over the place at times, but it’s standards based baby!
Let’s start with math shall we? Our math journals are “hoppin” and we are keeping our spiraled concepts fresh during this independent time. We are working out of my April Math Journal Pack
Here we are taking on the more difficult concept of counting by tens starting on a different number! This can be a hard concept at first— 4, 14, 24, 34, 44, 54… I give them a hundred chart, but soon they are good to go without one!
At small group this week we are working out of my Spring Printable Math Skills Packet. It’s been a great way to see how my students build, organize, and think mathematically!
Our spelling rule this week is IE and IGH -{long I} We are working out of my Phonics interactive printables. Each week I stock our 5 drawers with 5 purposeful activities and my students get after it!
In science we are studying animal groups so I brought our plastic friends out and hid them under “rocks”. The kids made inferences about what could be under the “rocks” snakes had the most guesses, but frogs and gorillas were thrown around a little too.
One brave soul was chosen to pull off a rock. Just look at the reaction…
Once the snakes were revealed, we carefully lifted each snake to reveal a vocabulary word.
We discussed what the vocabulary word was and how it related to reptiles or other animal groups.
I had 14 snakes so this took some time but we also clapped the syllables and discussed synonyms for the words when possible. {Covering my standards in every way possible}
Since the snake introduction, I have been pulling out literacy activities to work on with my reading groups as well as math centers to put out during math stations. These all come from my Snake Safari Unit which truly does not need to correlate to a science study on snakes. The activities are fun no matter what and follow common core standards.
The game below is a sight word game you play against friends.
We discussed fact and opinions and I put this activity in the writing center during guided reading!
Pretty much anything that requires you to prolong the ssssssssss sound makes for fun during a snake safari, so we also clapped ssssssyllables.
So what did I do with the plastic snakes? They became writing and work buddies. So if I saw that my kids were being calm and working hard I would say they could have a snake buddy. I explained that snakes will spook and bite if they talked or were up and out of their seat… They worked so hard to have a snake buddy!!!!
The great part is that they named them whatever vocabulary word was on their bellies. So they would say, Shhhh slither is sleeping. SO precious!
This was seriously happening over at table 3. I grabbed my camera as fast as possible to get it. Then we giggled. 🙂
So I haven’t gone into writer’s workshop much this year on the blog. We have been plugging along all year in our workshop and I am pleased with the progress we are making, but I almost forgot all about
Editing Eddie and his Conventions Convention!
Finally we ended our day with writer’s workshop and author’s chair. My new favorite discovery is to take popular songs from the radio that my students LOVE and download the Karaoke versions. Then I create a playlist and play it during writer’s workshop. My students LOVE it but they can’t sing along and they just get big smiles while they write. It makes for such a happy atmosphere during writer’s workshop! Here’s a screen shot of what we had playing today. There’s no words so you don’t have to worry about language! My class has yet to sing one word. They just say OH I LOVE THIS SONG and then they hum a little and pretty soon they are writing up a storm.
Whew! I didn’t realize how much I had to share in this post!
But just one more little happy spot this week!
You are amazing Reagan! I am always so impressed by how much you fit into your day and how much fun your kiddos have. 🙂

When I found Dr. Trust I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman and I was left in the dark. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact dr. trust through his website and he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started testing me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. I highly recommends Dr. Trust anyone in need of help. [email protected] or [email protected], cythia from Australia
Hello every body my name is Jessica Susan , am from France, I just want to share my experience with the world on how Dr Ozil, help me got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 3 years with one kid and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and argued almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me because I love him so much and don’t want to lose him but everything just didn't work out… he moved out of the house because it was a rented apartment and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly because I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and used his power… Within 4 days my husband called me and he said he was sorry for all the emotional pains he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily and our kid is happy too and we are expecting our second child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience because I strongly believe someone out there need’s it… You can email him through his email: [email protected] or [email protected] or you can reach him through his website: http://drozilsolutionhome.wix.com/drozilsolutionhome

My name is loveth anetor I live
in uk and was born in California.
THE GREAT dr alexzanderhightemple BROUGHT
MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME IN
JUST A ONE DAY.
i got married 4months ago. My
husband and I have been
living a very happy and lovely
life. So as time went on, I
began to notice this strange
attitude that he was
possessing. He was now going
out with other girls, to the
extent that he was no longer
picking up my calls, and he
was not even sleeping in my
house anymore. I became
confused and didn't know what
to do anymore. So i
became worried and stranded,
that brought so many
thoughts into my mind, because I
have never experienced
a thing like this before in my life.
So I decided to visit a spell
caster, to see if he can help
me out. So immediately I went
to the internet, where I
saw an amazing testimony of a
spell caster who brought
someone's ex lover back,so I
contacted him immediately
and I explained to him all my
problems and he told me
that it will be very easy for him
to solve, compare to the
ones he has done before. And he
also gave me some
proof to be really sure of her
work, and he assured me
that my husband will come back
to me immediately after
he is through with the spell
casting. And also he told me
to put all my trust in him and I
really obeyed him.
So it was 8:00 am on the next
morning, when I was about
going to work, when i received
my husband's call, and he
told me that he was coming back
home, and he apologized
to me, and told me that he is
very sorry for the pain that
he has cost me. And after some
hours later, he really came
back home, and that was how we
continued our marriage
with lots of love and happiness,
and our love was now
stronger than how it were
before.
And these great man also told
me that once my heart
desire has been granted unto me
that i should go and
testify of his work right here on
the internet. Right now I
am the happiest woman on earth
today as I am writing
this testimony, and I want to
really thank
dr alexzander for
bringing back my
husband, and for bringing joy and
love to my family.so you
all there having dificulties or the
other don,t worry every
thing will be fine
So my greatest advice for you
out there who your husband
or your wife is acting strange or
behaving the same way
like this, or you have any
problem with your relationship or
anything related to do with spell
casting, is for you to go
and visit this great man anytime,
and i assure you that
she will be of help to you, and I
am 100% sure that he
will solve it out.once again
contact him on these email
now..and your problem we be all over because I really trust him as the best spell caster in the [email protected]
Fun, playing and learning~ I believe this statement. I think kids are enjoying learning when it is related with the game. The resume cover letter also help to build a better career in the market. Thanks for letting us know about these process of learning.
Am Karen Lola from Scotland. I was having serious relationship problems with my boyfriend and it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advises that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been dating for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to Dr. Trust by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend; this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all he asked and after 48 hours my boyfriend called me and rushed back home, things just changed between us emotionally. He has a job and stopped drinking and keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found Dr.Trust. So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to Dr.Trust for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too.
