Friday Fun

I love how creative everyone is being with Thursday night spelling homework! C spelled his words out with coins and then took pictures of them.
J spelled his words out in powdered sugar on a cookie sheet and took a picture of them.
E worked with her words several different ways, but we loved the game where she and her dad threw a ball back and forth to each other. With each pass of the ball, they spelled out one letter of a word until they had completed the spelling of a word.
E wrote his words on the sidewalk with chalk, then he wrote the words on Etch-a-Sketches and took pictures of the results.
O used her words in a story that was like the ABC book stories we read in library yesterday. (Good connection!)
I spelled his several ways: once in blocks that were photographed and once on a round piece of wood.
R cut out letters from magazines to spell her words.
E wrote a wonderfully imaginative story with his words.
L wrote his words on a white board, took a picture of them, emailed the picture to Mrs. O, and then she printed it!
First counselor visit of the year! Ms. K came to our room with her friend, Kelso the Kissing Frog. She talked to us about the difference between tattling and reporting. She also told us some of Kelso's choices:

If you have a SMALL problem, you can work it out with someone trying two of these choices:

• make a deal
• wait and cool off
• go to another game
• share and take turns
• talk it out
• walk away
• ignore it
• tell them to stop
• apologize

If you have a BIG problem, tell an adult you trust.

And then our wonderful day ended, but we have one more thing to say...

HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
