Happy weekend everyone. It is a beautiful Friday, and Saturday promises to be the same. I hope you are all doing your work so you can go outside this afternoon and enjoy the beautiful weather.
We had a great zoom class today. Only one more zoom next week on the Big Guy's birthday! We completed four days very successfully. The kids were pooped because we worked so hard all week. We work very well together. I gave the kids a "free write" and the task was to tell me all about how they were feeling in regards to four days of school. They all said that they were happy to be back with their friends and that we had more time to learn more things! ( I loved that one !) In Wonders this week, we are on Unit 5 week 5. The genre is non-fiction. The new spelling words are listed on our spelling page on this web site. We will have our last zoom spelling test on Friday the 16th. In math, we will be finishing up unit six. We are hard at work on our times tables. Many of us have been studying very hard this week and it has paid off. The facts are now coming automatically for most of us. I told the kids to get flash cards ( or make them ). That way they can study their facts on the road or anywhere else when they have some free time. This will be our last week of music. Next week it will be on to gym. The kids are enjoying our science unit. This last lesson was about dinosaur fossils! We even went on a "fossil dig"! The kids are helping Mr. Mud pronounce all the long names of the dinosaurs. We are still hard at work on the presidents. Remember we will be doing our write-ups in class. A lot of us have our research done. We are learning so much about the presidents. Bob the Bunny keeps us entertained daily. You never know where he is going to be or what he is going to do. We are trying to trap him, but he is not falling for it. He is a very mischievous bunny! He has been reading the president books and leaves us funny letters on the white board everyday. I, like the kids, am very happy about being back full time. Lunch is working out great, and snack time is working too. We are utilizing the outdoors for snack when it is nice. If the kids want to throw a towel in their backpack, that would be a great help for sitting outside and snacking. Let's keep doing what we are doing! Please stay healthy so that we can stay in school. The kids have done an amazing job so far. Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to another full week with all of you! Comments are closed.

I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
