Red Ribbon Week
This week was devoted to learning about how to be drug free! We read a pledge about being drug free and then the students had to think about whether they wanted to lead a drug free life or not. One student said it was silly to give them time to think, of course they all wanted to be drug free! They then signed their names and then drew a picture of themselves living a drug free life. The drawing of themselves were adorable!
Letters and Math
Learning can happen in more than one subject at the same time. I love taking one activity and finding as many ways as possible to learn from it. Below, you will see what appears to be two pictures of trains. To the kids of room 4, it was so much more!
First, we had to choose what color of construction paper we wanted for our background and then cut the construction paper in half. Then, we had to cut apart the parts of our train. If we wanted to use the parts, we had to be able to tell Mrs. Brown what shape it was. Finally, we had to tell Mrs. Brown what the parts of the train were that we built and what letter each part started with. For example, the window starts with letter w.
Learning can be so much fun even with the simplest tasks!

All about Tt
A couple of weeks ago we learned about the letter Tt. I decided to dress up in almost anything and everything that started with the letter Tt.

- tie
- tights
- tutu
- tennis shoe
Beat the Teacher
It's not easy when you are 5 to sit quietly all day. When the class tends to get a little chatty, we play a game. I will say, "In 3-2-1 I will have my bubble". The students will then reply, "3-2-1" and then have a bubble in their mouths. If they successfully do it, they get the point and if they do not, I get the point.
At the end of the day, if the students win, they will get to draw from the paper bag. The bag consists of all different kinds of rewards such as a brain break dance video. The kids absolutely love to try and beat the teacher.

Brain Break!
Field Trip to the Library
The students loved touring the local library. They even got to hear one of their favorite stories!
