We have a famous Cupcake!

One of my Cupcakes was featured in today's paper for his good deeds! I have had him in my class for two years and when I heard this story from his Granny I had to submit it to the paper. We are so proud of our Hunter! Check him out below...

My little researchers!

Last week we launched a new writing unit. It is focused on informational and explanatory writing. The Cupcakes and Sea Stars are using PebbleGO.com to research a topic of choice.

The students were able to team up with some 4th graders for technical support. They finished their graphic organizers and are starting to write and illustrate in their books. Here are some pictures of the progress...

Snowflake 2013!

Snowflake was a busy guy this year! Sometimes he played with Mrs. Thompson's elf, and one time they even switched classrooms. Luckily our students were WONDERFUL everyday so I am sure Santa got a great report! I hope everyone has a very happy and restful winter break. I will see you all on January 7th!
