Celebrating 50 Days of School!

 We celebrated our 50th day of school on October 15th.  We dressed up like kids in the 1950's and had some great fun!  Thanks to all the teachers for planning such a fun event for us.  Thanks to all the parents who sent items that made our day extra special!

 We loved learning to blow bubbles with bubble gum.  Once we got the hang of it, we had a bubble blowing contest!  It was hard to tell who won!  Everyone blew great bubbles.  We also had fun hula hooping on the playground!  We think that might take a little more practice!

 Our favorite thing we ate was a root beer float!  We could not believe you could put ice cream right in the root beer!  It was delicious and fun to eat!

But the most fun we had was definitely at the Sock Hop!  We went to the cafeteria which was decorated with old cars and records.  Mr. Hume came and told us how the 1950's were different from today.  He encouraged us to look it up on the internet.  Then he and Mrs. Owen showed us how they used to dance in the 50's! Next it was our turn!  We danced like crazy!  It was a blast!

Farm Day!

 Farm Day was so much fun!  We dressed up in our farm clothes and pretended to be farmers!  Some friends from our community brought some animals for us to visit.  We petted a pig, a chicken, and some rabbits.  The cow that was scheduled to visit us could not make it; so, our teachers made a cow for us!  We had a great time!




  We loved making our making our own Farm Day Snacks!  That morning we made pigs in a blanket with little sausages and biscuits.  We baked them in our class oven.  We enjoyed those pigs in a blanket with some lemonade that afternoon.

 Our two favorite farm stories were Mrs. Wishy Washy and Growing Vegetable Soup.  We loved reading these stories.  We made mud puddles for our farm animals to splash in!  We made them with chocolate pudding!  We also made our own vegetable soup!  Both activities were fun and delicious!

Real People Read Kickoff

Our class was invited to participate in the Real People Read kickoff at our school.  We heard from many community leaders about the importance of readiing and being a lifelong learner.  Mayor Winfield read one of our favorite stories!  We loved it!  We also heard from Mr. Hume, Dr. Swinford, Mrs. Murphy, and Mr. Shorter.  We had a great time.  Now, we are trying to meet our reading goals each month!  Be sure you are recording those titles on the reading log for your free pizza from Pizza Hut!

Congratulations to our September Student of the Month!  We are so proud of him.  We will be choosing a Student of the Month based on behavior, character, and begin a productive member of our classroom community.  Every student has a chance to receive this honor!

APPLE PIE!

We studied about orchards on the farm and Johnny Appleseed. We each brought an apple to school. Most people brought a red apple, but we learned that there are many kinds of apples. We are very thankful to John Chapman for spreading his appleseeds all over the country so there are plenty of apples. We decided to bake apple pie with our apples after we read The Apple Pie Tree. We used pre-made crusts, sugar, butter, and cinnamon. We cored and peeled our apples, added sugar, butter, and cinnamon. We put a crust lid on it and baked it in our oven. That was the best apple pie because we made it ourselves!

Body Walk

The Body Walk is an activity brought by the Mississippi State Extension Service that helps us understand how our bodies work. We learned about our body parts and how to keep them healthy. We learned about eating the right foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep. We also learned how harmful things like smoking can cause damage to our bodies. We got a bookmark and a coloring book. We want to give a special shout out to our parent volunteer Greg Hoeft. He did a great job!

Grandparents Are Special!

We love our grandparents! We celebrated our love for them on Grandparents' Day. We had cookies and punch. We wrote a book for them and sang some songs! We enjoyed having our grandparents at school!

Open House

Sherman Avenue Open House was a very exciting night! Our parents came to school and after hearing about things happening here at Sherman, our parents came to our classroom. We gave hem a tour of our room. We read stories to them and showed them our morning routine. Thanks to all the parents who came that night!

Teddy Bear Picnic

We had a great time at our Teddy Bear Picnic! We sorted and graphed our teddy bears and enjoyed stories about teddy bears! Our teddy grahams and capri suns were delicious!
