What Type of Pet Would you Want?

If you could have ANY pet what would you want?   I thought I'd get some wild answer but they were pretty tame and common.

After reading, I Wanna Iguana, we brainstormed a list.

Students had "Quiet 10" where they began their illustrations.  As they worked, I worked.  I then modeled and stretched my words.  Of course I chose a lion because it could protect me!  Finally, students wrote their piece.

Here are a few examples.

Our Pumpkin Family

These pumpkins made their way to our classroom this week.  I paint a handful of these that students can win!!  In order to win one students will estimate the circumference around.  The closest answer will bring one home.

The Wheels on the Bus Go to the Apple Orchard

We headed to the Apple Orchard on Wednesday and had LOTS of fun!  Enjoy the pics.

Rose did an amazing job teaching our class more about apples, pumpkins, and the farm animals.

At the end of our field trip we enjoyed apple cinnamon donuts and apple cider.

What's Your Favorite Color?

We're continuing to work with opinion writing.  If you haven't seen the book below you should take a look at it.  The kids love hearing the reasons why each crayon quit.

We made a list of our favorite colors.  Students wrote their opinions and shared their pieces.

New Blog Design

So as you can tell I have a brand, spanky new blog design and I absolutely LOVE it!

It was so easy to do.  I just got in touch with www.blogsfitforaqueen.blogspot after looking through their portfolio.  I gave them color choices, told them fonts I liked, and the options I wanted.

They worked with me through the entire process, changing, and tweaking it until it was set up.

If you're looking to give your blog a makeover I'd swing over and check them out (Blogs Fit for a Queen).
