50th Day of School!

On Wednesday we celebrated the 50th day of school with 50's Day! We dressed up, hula hooped, hop scotched, had a bubble blowing contest, & drank root beer floats! We had planned on having it outside but the weather turned cold. It was so fun & afterwards we were so tired. Mrs. J was going to have a costume contest but could not decide between the cute costumes. It was fun just being together. Only 50 more days until we celebrate the 100th day of school. We wanted to thank our parents for our "cool" looks!

Do we look cool or what!

The hula hooping

&

bubble gum contest
were so much fun!

Comment From Holly's Dad In Iraq

Today the students were THRILLED to get a comment on our blog from Heavenly Holly's dad. He is a marine stationed in Iraq. I cannot tell you how precious my "little ones" faces were as I read his comment. After reading it we went on Google Earth & took a quick trip around the world to Iraq. The children always enjoy taking trips on the internet. I wanted to let Lieutenant F know how excited his Holly & the rest of the children were. Today Heavenly Holly brought her "daddy doll" for Show & Share. It has a picture of her dad & a device with a message that her dad made for her with his own voice. She hugged it & hugged it. It was a big hit with her Multiage Family!! Here is his comment..."Mrs. Jones & class, I would like to Thank you all for welcoming my precious jewel with open arms. You will continue to see that she will brighten your days with just her smile and giggles. I will often check on you all. Continue to fill your hearts and minds to one day do great things in this world. Take care!" -Holly's Dad

Thank You Parents!!!

I would like to thank Beautiful Brianne's mom (Mrs. B) & Colossal Brian Cole's mom (Mrs. M) for volunteering their time during our 50's day celebration!

A New Guest Reader!

Last Friday Jazzy Jade's mom, Mrs. T, came and read us a fantastically funny book! The book was Beetle McGrady Eats Bugs! It taught us a lesson about trying new things & believing in ourselves. We really appreciate Mrs. T coming & sharing a story with us. We thought she was a great reader with a lot of expression in her voice. Mrs. J is working with us on using expression when we read. She says it takes a lot of practice. Mrs. T said that she loves to read at home. After reading she stayed & played the "The Fly Swatter Phonics Game" with our Multiage Family. She was really good at it & showed good sportsmanship. We know how important that is during the fly swatter game. We hope she enjoyed her visit & comes back again real soon. If you are interested in reading us a story, please contact our teacher Mrs. J or leave us a comment on our blog. Enjoy the fall break!

A Visit From The Fire Truck

We had a visit from the fire truck & smoke trailer today!


The fireman talked to us about fire safety & fire equipment. He wears a lot of things to keep him safe in a fire. He wears a sock mask that goes over his ears & head. He told us that is keeps his ears from "baking". He wears a helment to protect his head from things falling on it. He wears a mask & air tanks to help him breath good air during fires. The air tanks weigh 70 pounds. The air makes a funny noise. He also wears a special beeper. The beeper makes a loud noise. He uses if he is stuck or lost in a fire. This lets other firefighters know where he is.

We went inside the fire truck. It had two seats in the front & four in the back. It had neat stuff inside. It also had a BIG steering wheel. The truck was full of equipment to help firefighters during a fire. There was a big ladder on the top of the truck. We also went inside the Smoke Trailer. We learned about house fires and getting out safely, even if there is smoke. Everyone crawled out of the smoke & safely went down the ladder to our meeting place. It was so fun!! We learned a lot. We hope they visit us again.
