Sleeping Beauties!

While they LOVED the field trip, it did wear out some of the Royal Subjects! :)

Barnyard Fun

Our trip this past week to the farm was a blast!

Mr. Harold, a farm volunteer, leads us through the corn maze

Being a farmer is hot, sweaty work

Listening to the story of Snuggley the Square Pumpkin

Mr. Harold showed us a frog along the way

Looking for pumpkins -- The rain did most of them in :(

But there were sunflowers galore!

On the playground

We LOVED the corn popper!

JJ gets ready to Read Across America

JJ is thrilled to find readers in our room!!

Welcome Miss Sarkees!

You may have heard the children talk about the Junior Queen, Miss Sarkees. We want to welcome her to our room as our intern from FSCJ. Miss Sarkees will be teaching lessons and taking over the teaching eventually for this semester. I know she will be fantastic, as I know her family from having taught her brother when I first came to Beauclerc. (I know you can't believe I've taught that long!) You'll be hearing more about and from Miss Sarkees in the weeks to come. I'm excited for the children to have such an enthusiastic addition to our classroom. Please join me in a huge welcome for her!

They call us Mellow Yellow

Last week one of our sight words was yellow. So, what did we make?? Yellow crowns, of course! Here we are wearing them and dancing to the song, "Yellow"
