...Go Fund Me Update...

We had another contribution donated to our Go Fund Me account, so I was able to order 4 more AR books.  This brings our total to 29 BOOKS that our students have access to. Our AR scores have rocketed as all of the students have been on a “reading frenzy.”  This has been such an exciting time as a teacher!  I love watching the students devour book after book and develop into successful readers as a result.  

If you would still like to contribute, the Go Fund Me account is still open.   Simply go to www.gofundme.com, type in the Alma zip code, and my account titled "Accelerated Reading Books."

Today K & 1 visited the farm of one of our students.   We learned how to milk a goat and were able to feed the chickens as well!  This field trip tied into our agriculture unit.  We learned a lot!

We had a special visitor today.  One of the students brought in a horned toad, that her incredible mother caught in their driveway (because moms are just awesome like that!)  We talked about God's design of creating them with spikes and camouflage for protection, and claws for digging.  It was a fun mini-lesson!

Let's do Lunch!

Texture: the element of art that refers to

the way things feel, or look as if you could

feel if touched


In art class, we learned about the concept of texture in art, then built beautiful 3-foot sandwiches that any New Yorker would envy.  You can see these gorgeous sandwiches displayed in the downstairs hallway, just outside the gym.
