We are Thankful...

Last week during COW we created a video of our Thankful Turkeys. We made the turkeys with Mrs. Lenoff during speech and took it to the next level during COW. What a collaborative effort!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Congratulations to Mrs. Birkhead's students on their performance in Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Our preschool buddy class came to watch as well as Mrs. Henry, and Mrs. Breland. WOW! I think some students might have a future in acting!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Today we performed Goldilocks and the 3 Bears for our buddy class. Everyone did an excellent job!

We're Panwapa Kids Are you?

This week we have been exploring the site We created our own Panwapa kid, chose our favorite things, and created a house. We have also visited other Panwapa kids around the world. Marissa has a message from a Panwapa kid in Georgia, which is near Russia! Mrs. Birkhead has a friend from Sweden! Tungar, a native of Panwapa, took us on a treasure hunt. On the treasure hunt we had to find people who liked certain activities. It is exciting to check to see if people have visited us - so try to look for us on Panwapa!
We have also been practicing a Reader's Theater of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We will be performing tomorrow for our Preschool Buddy class. We have spent a long time practicing our lines and making props.
Guess what? We had a pizza party today! It was great. Our pizza party celebrated Billy's great behavior. Mr. Jarrett delivered the pizzas and we all enjoyed the wonderful treat. Keep up the great behavior, Billy, We are so proud of you! Did you know we are going to have another pizza party soon? During red ribbon week we found the most red ribbons, so we will have another surprise pizza party!

November 19 already???

I am sorry we have been away. Mrs. Birkhead has been quite busy because she moved from Conshohocken, PA to Haddon Township, NJ! Even though there are still boxes all over the house she is happy to be closer to school.
This week we have COW in our classroom! For the past three days we have been exploring the site We created our own identities, chose our favorite things, and explored different parts of the world.
We are also getting excited for Thanksgiving. Last Friday we made double consonant ending words on turkey feathers and during speech we wrote 5 things we were thankful for. Next Tuesday we will be making turkey sandwiches to help celebrate Thanksgiving. We will wear our Indian headbands while we eat our turkey. When you see our headbands you will notice some students will have more feathers than others. We are given a feather for each day we have "green" behavior.

Halloween

Halloween was a great time!
We started our day with Fairytale Friday. Our Fairytale this week was Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Mrs. Birkhead gave us clues to guess the story before we listened to an awesome version of the story. We listened to the story to help with our listening skills.
Thanks to es.com for the exciting version of the story.
Since it was Halloween we created our own version of a poison apple by making carmel apples in the crockpot. Mrs. Birkhead found the recipe on http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/crockpot-caramel-apples.html

We also voted today! Everyone had the opportunity to sit down at a computer and decide who should be our next president. We talked abut the importance of voting. At the end of the day we learned if we had a choice Barack Obama would be our next president. Since I am writing this post so late we now know Obama was elected our next president, so we were right!

Around 1:45 we changed into our Halloween costumes for our parade.
Billy was a ninja, Ayanna Mo was a witch, Ayanna Ma. was a vampire, Joey was a Powerranger, Shelley was Belle, Marissa was Ariel, Kavon was a football player, Destiney was a genie, Jalen was a police officer, and Gary was an Army soldier. Billy's mom, Ms. Tara came in to help us with our party. We had so much fun, and appreciate her help!
