Saint Patrick's Day Fun

Yesterday we celebrated Saint Patrick's Day in Room 204! We all had on something green and one student shared the history of who Saint Patrick was and why he was important! I must say that I was really impressed with his information! I learned a thing or two! 

We also talked about leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold, and other fun things surrounding the day! 

We wrote in our journals about how to catch a leprechaun...

We completed this writing activity from The Teacher Wife and the kids loved it! She has different versions of it, so we used the one that worked best for us! You can find the link for it here. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Worth-More-Than-Gold-A-Writing-Craftivity

The kids had to come up with a person who is worth more than gold to them. I love how honest and raw their writings are! :) enjoy! 🍀

Read Across America Week!

This week was very exciting in Room 204. We thought we would finally be back on a normal schedule, celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday, read lots of books, have guest readers, etc.. Most of those things got to happen up until Thursday when the Ice Storm 2015 hit us and we had to stay home!  For the first three days of the week we had the mayor come and guest read during our morning assembly and another guest reader visit just our class and read a book in French to us. It was very neat to hear a different language and have visitors! During reading center time we completed Dr. Seuss themed activities. We created little Horton's after the students read Horton Hears a Who and wrote how Horton was a good friend. We also read Oh! The Places You'll Go! Both books are my favorite Seuss books and I was so happy to share them with my Seconds! You can find the link to our Horton's below!
