On Monday, we wore Purple and Pink and played Prodigy for P day.  On Tuesday, we worked on our zoo animal reports and went on Quests to answer Questions. Wednesday was a Rainy day and we had our Read and Feed.  On Thursday, we used Shaving cream to practice our Spelling words.  And, on Friday, we had a treat of Taco Pizza (thanks Lisa Walters!) and played giant Twister!  Whew!!! What a busy week!!!

For M day, Mrs. MARTHA Purchis came in and taught us to play MARBLES!  And did you know that people who play marbles are called MIBSTERS?

I, J, K. and L Days

I was for ICE CREAM and ICE experiment,  J was for JOKES, K was for random acts of KINDNESS, and L was for LUNCH together in our classroom, LICORICE, and LEARNING.COM.  Whew!  What a busy time!

Hanging out with Herman the Worm!

Today the Master Gardeners from the Jo Daviess County Extension office visited our classroom.  We learned about worms and composting, and even got to bring a few friends of Herman the worm home with us to start our own composting bins.  Thanks so much to the Master Gardeners for sharing this very informative, yet slimy, topic with us!

On Wednesday, we took DANCE breaks throughout our day, and on Thursday we EXERCISED at the 5th grade Walk-a-thon (and also had some EXCELLENT treats at the end!).  Thanks to Mrs. Benson's class for sponsoring the Walk-a-Thon to help a family in Savanna who lost their home to a fire.  Don't forget....Monday will be F for FLIP-FLOPS!
