They loved it. One student even gave an Amen after Robert's message. 😂 We plan to use it for Grandparents Day by having the kids record a message and play in our room for our activity. Mandy said we should have the app on the iPad. Now just hoping Ashley put in the code on the iPad's. 🙏🙏🙏 ]]> 2017-09-05 02:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184615439 lundstrumelizabeth https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184617455 We will be "camping" this week.

I'm envisioning a "Write Em' Cowboy" theme focused on writing pieces. The staff will wear cowboy attire, the halls decorated like a western, and maybe tracking down some horses??]]> 2017-09-05 03:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184618544 plumbcaitlin https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184691589 Second grade did a "Saving Fred" activity!

It's amazing what kids learn/remember from using music to reinforce their learning.

The kids have songs for: subjects, predicates, singular nouns, plural nouns, and the drop the e rule for adding endings to words ending in E.

We followed it up with the book Mr. Peabody's Apples by Madonna. Who knew Madonna wrote books?! My hope is that my students remember the power of their words. ]]> 2017-09-05 13:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184740996 https://padlet.com/burrsatotha/7r1i659v5unk/wish/184742224 Second Grade is having their first ever BOOK TASTING this week.

I am hoping to build a strong background knowledge with concrete activities to get my students talking. I started the year with a beach theme and we have moved to an apple theme this week. 
When providing specific experiences to my students, I always think about Alma Stipp and her teacup analogy.
