A Look Back at Our Week!

It's hard to believe we've officially entered the end of the year!  These are the weeks I wish time would go just a little bit slower as there is always so much I want to get through and more fun to be enjoyed in good ole room 230!  This year the days seem to be flying by especially quick.

Taking a look back at our week we popped a few more balloons.  On Monday, our balloon revealed we'd enjoy a special treat.  We started our day together with donuts (a favorite of many of our 1A friends).  On Tuesday we enjoyed the warm temperatures with some extra recess and on Wednesday we worked to blow bubbles with gum!  Not everyone was willing to pose for the camera, but many were:

One friend was already an expert, but she offered assistance to others!

GOT IT!!!!

After many pieces of gum and lots of practice a few more friends in 1A had mastered the art of blowing bubbles!  There was even talk of figuring out how to blow a bubble in a bubble! Sounds like a great summer activity!  Our week concluded with popsicles for day #15 and bubbles on Friday for day #14.

Friends in my LA class have been working all year to expand their vocabulary.  During our final weeks we're working through a deck of Big Word Cards:

Adding our new word to our vocabulary journal

This week we learned cantankerous and mellifluous.  If your child is in my LA class, have you heard them practice using either of these words?  We all were certain our singing on Friday would be mellifluous!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
