Three Was Full of Glee

Look who walked her brother, EJ, into the assembly this morning: future kindergartner EJ!
Our last assembly of second grade. Mrs. C and Mrs. D put on a program about Hink Pinks. (More on that later...)
Our last time singing the school song at an assembly for this year.
Today we celebrated OC's birthday. (It is really tomorrow!)
Our last reading celebration! These students read for over 1000 minutes during the month of May and got to choose from the ever-expanding classroom store. (Mrs. O adds to it daily as she cleans out 22 years worth of teaching "stuff".)
There was a special award for these students. None of them have been tardy or absent the entire year. Amazing!
Mrs. O had gifts for the class. She made everyone a "Diary of a Third Grade Kid" journal with a school pen. She also let everyone order a book from the last Scholastic order.
Here, the girls are enjoying their new journals and books.
After lunch we worked on Hink Pinks, Hinky Pinkies and Hinkety Pinketies.
A Hink Pink is a joke with a two word answer where both words rhyme and have ONE syllable.
(Example: Q:What do you call a fun Christmas? A cool Yule!)
A Hinky Pinkies is a joke with a two word answer where both words rhyme and have TWO syllables.
(Example: Q: What do you call a skunk painted fuscha? A: A pinker stinker!)

And last but not least...Hinkety Pinketies are jokes with a two word answer where both words rhyme and have THREE syllables.
(Example: Q: What do you call the White House? A: A President's Residence!

Lots of fun was had by all. Have a great weekend. We do have school on Monday because we are making up a snow day. (And it was a mighty good day off in February!) I know lots of parents will be off, and many of you have already let me know you will be out of town.
