North Pole Visit Today!

The North Pole sent us an elf today!  It arrived frozen in a block of ice because Santa decided to send us a naughty elf.  We noticed the box delivered today had naughty written all over the outside. Apparently, a naughty elf traveling frozen assures Santa the elf arrives safely without any mischief. Santa knows we are world changers and this elf needs some help.  The crew had to promise to teach the elf to make good choices for Mrs. Powers, our Vice Principal, to let it stay at school.   We are waiting eagerly to see if it is a boy or a girl.  The class voted today and if our elf  is a boy he will be named, "Chip" and if it is a girl she will be named, "Snowflake."  We are sure to have some adventures ahead!

We are pretty sure there is an elf in there, but is it a boy or a girl?

We Are Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  Last week the pirate crew shared a mini-play and enjoyed an ice cream feast with ALL their favorite toppings on top!  YUMMY!  The backdrop included pictures of things they are thankful for this year.

The Crew did an AWESOME job sharing the Thanksgiving Story!

Next, we had our ice cream feast.  Everyone shared what they were thankful for with the group.

Thank you parents for coming!!  We had fun with you onboard!

A VERB is a WORD it's an ACTION WORD....

So we are learning about the "ingredients" that good sentences include and VERBS has to be one of our favorites!  Here is the final product, but I've included what we did prior to our verb creations.

First, we found ways we could do ACTION verbs on the playground.  

Here is jumping!

 Swinging!

 Throwing!

Running!

Twirling!

We looked for verbs happening in artwork and shared what we discovered.

Then it was time to show an action verb by making a tin foil "person" which was challenging, but very fun!

Here it is again, our final giant VERB ART!

 Here are just a few close up,  I was impressed and the crew had a blast!

Turkeys in Disguise!

These turkeys look AMAZING and will certainly not be on the dinner table at Thanksgiving!
