Saw this last night on Pinterest..... "nuff said.  Have a great weekend. 

OUTLAW time

As many of you already know we have moved to a new bell schedule.  This does not affect the time that students are in or out of class but allows us to have a dedicated time to do RTI.

Back at 'er!

Well on a positive note, we are lucky to only have two days of school before our first weekend.  And man, we will need that weekend!  So glad to see all my little peeps excited to be at school. 

Our Pet Worms

As you may have seen in a previous post, we have new class pets.  They are the worms that we are using to create compost.  Every day we have to check and see the progress that the little wigglers are making with the food scraps that we have left them.  They are excited to give me apple cores, banana peels, etc. as soon as they can!  You have never seen so many fruits and veggies ingested so that they can give the scrap away!

In the first picture the fork is pointing towards two pupal sacs.  This is where the baby worm grows up until it is ready to take on the world.

The pupal sacs are orange.  When the worm comes out they break out of one side leaving a deflated sac. 

The worms actually go THROUGH the apple.  The kids think this is really cool.

Sorry if this is too gross for you - the kids think it is really cool. 

Mish Mash

Well I sat down this morning and realized that it is only three more wake ups for the Kindergarten class.  Just a couple notes as we wind down 2012. 

Our first Report Card

Wow!  Its been a while.  With report cards, planning for interviews etc. it hasn't been a priority.  

I as a teacher love and hate report cards.

The weekend ....finally

What a crazy week!  Whoever thought that Halloween mid week was a fabulous plan should discuss it with parents and teachers!
