Think Green!

One of Dr. Seuss's most famous books is Green Eggs & Ham.  So today in honor of Dr. Seuss we thought green & wore green.  Our classroom was full of green today!! :)  We continued to have a lot of different mystery readers today & we also had a lot of treats throughout the day - yum! yum! :)

Mystery Readers
Our first mystery reader was Aidan W.'s mom (Mrs. Wehmeyer).  She read two of Aidan's favorite books The Thank You Book and Pete the Cat and the Bad Banana.

Samuel's brother, Seth, was our second mystery reader, and he read to us Bear Says Thanks.  He brought in donut holes for us to enjoy as an early morning snack!

On Tuesday & Thursday mornings, we have students from MU that help in our classroom.  Today Ms. Guillory and Ms. Moore were both mystery readers this morning!  They read When I Grow Up and The Princess and the Pony.

We had counselor today, but before counselor started Mr. Smith was our next mystery reader.  He read the book Let Me Finish!

After lunch, Ben's mom & grandmother (Mrs. Price) came to be our sixth mystery reader.  Mrs. Price read Dragons Love Tacos, and what better to go with the the book was a taco from Taco Bell.  We found out the second graders love tacos also!!

Mrs. Richardson (previous 4th & 5th grader teacher, currently teaches ELL) was our seventh mystery reader.  She read A Fish Out of Water to us.

Our last mystery reader was a surprise!  Jameson had his birthday over the weekend and so his mom surprised him with being our last mystery reader of the day!! :)  Jameson and his mom read The Book With No Pictures together.  Afterwards, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jameson and enjoyed cupcakes.

Here are all the books that our mystery readers read today!

Mother's Singers
Today we celebrated America with the Mother's Singers!  They sang us several songs about the love of America and important songs throughout American history.

Counselor
Today, Mr. Smith continued teaching about what to do when a situation occurs that maybe unsafe.  First, we need to recognize if the situation is unsafe, refuse if it is unsafe and then report to a trusted adult.  We also had a conversation about wanted and unwanted touches.  We talked that it is okay to tell someone that you don't like an unwanted touch, and then to report an unwanted touch to a trusted adult.  The kiddos brainstormed trusted adults (both at home & at school) on a sheet of paper - this paper came home in your child's backpack.

Health
Avery and Addi were busy last night!  They made a neat model of the respiratory system & shared it with the class today.

Weather
Earlier today the weather was beautiful.  This afternoon the rain came in & a cold front will be following.  Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather tomorrow.

Read Week
Tomorrow is our last day of Read Week.  We will end the week with Celebrity Mystery Readers in the Media Center.  Tomorrow's dress-up day is Flannel or Pajama Friday.

I hope that you have a wonderful evening!
