Thank you Mrs. Savage, our Friday center helper!

More word family fun reading this afternoon after enjoying Drop it, Rocket! by Tad Halls.  We love Rocket's word tree!

Art In The Box fun with Dr. Seuss!

We had more volleyball fun with Mrs. Beyer's class today!

Happy Birthday Elenor! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Thomas for the cupcakes and story!

After sounding out words, we were inspired by the R is for Rocket Book to create works of beauty with our own letters. L is for Lisa!  More pictures can be found in our Afternoon Enrichment photo album. 

This afternoon, we read Rocket Writes A Story by Tad Hills. Rocket learned to read with the help of his teacher, yellow bird. Rocket decides to go on an adventure to collect words for his word tree because he wants to write a story. Along the way he meets a new friend, Owl. Owl is shy at first but learns to be brave and leave her nest. The children were very interested in the word tree. We talked about how we all know our letter sounds and should not be shy to try and put the sounds together. The children were brave, sounded out the letters in each of the words above and read them!  We were all so excited!

Thank you Mr. Graham, our center helper today!

We had an extra yummy frozen treat this afternoon!  Yum!!

After enjoying another Rocket Dog story, the children made their own ABC book that we will share with our morning friends!  We can all be authors and illustrators!

The Valentine's Party was so much fun!  Thank you to all the Parent Helpers who made it such a great time for all!  Look at the Valentine Party photo album for more pictures.

The children had a blast learning how to play volleyball in gym class today!

Afternoon Enrichment had a wonderful time going on a letter hunt!  Some letters were tricky to find!  We also enjoyed reading R is for Rocket by Tad Hills, our author of the week!  We watched a video interview with Mr. Hills and saw the real Rocket.  His friends Duck and Goose are also very funny!

We made our Valentine's Day bags today!  We are getting excited for the party!

We also got to share Valentine stories together!  It was so nice to spend time upstairs in their classroom!
