Odds and Ends

I'm now going through all of my pictures from this spring and they may end up in this post if they have not found a home yet...

A high school student came in to our room to complete a project for FCCLA.  The first graders made Eye-Spy bottles out of plastic pop bottles (recycling), wheat, and tiny objects.  They filled the bottles with wheat and the itty bitty objects, shook it all up, and started spying things!  The first graders always have a blast when they can work with the "big kids".

Here is everyone working so well together in their reading centers.

To prep for Easter we decorated paper eggs with shaving cream and paint.  All swirled around like that, some of them looked like they were covered in toothpaste.

The Kindergarteners-3rd Graders got to go on an Easter egg hunt on the playground.  For as long as it takes us to hide the eggs, it sure is amazing how fast they are all found!

The Elementary Student of the Month was our Georgia!  She is such a great worker and proud recipient!

We celebrated Earth Day a little late since our weather was not cooperating.  The entire school walked around town and picked up trash.  They had the best "garbage sensing eyes" and collected plenty.  Everyone was rewarded with ice cream treats donated by the grocery store.

Valentine's Day

This post is going to have Valentine's Day pictures and some odds and ends from February as well.

The kids created some pretty scary-cute Love Monsters for the hallway.  I showed my example to the class and they had the freedom to create any monster they liked.  They turned out so original and unique.  They also made cupcakes to fill in my "Ms. Anglin's Sweeties" bulletin board.

I found the best Valentine's cards and little gifts this year.  They eyeball rings were a hit and so were the heart shaped plates.  Thank you Target Dollar Spot!!

We played a relay game during our Valentine's Day part.  They had to balance candy hearts on a Popsicle stick and get through every member of their team.  If they dropped the candy they had to start over, what a battle it was!

To finish celebrating we also had strawberry pop ice cream floats and played Valentine's Day Bingo.

A Student of the Month program was started in our school this year.  There is one high school/middle school student and one elementary student chosen each month.  The teachers nominate a couple of students each month and the winners are selected- luck of the draw- style.  In February, Colton was the Elementary Student of the Month.  I am so proud of him!
