Happy Memorial Day!

Can you believe it is already the end of May?!  I am so shocked by how fast this year has gone by!  We are right in the middle of our ABC countdown and having a great time!  This week we have enjoyed making colorful butterfly hats to wear when we release our butterflies next week.  We also had a great time interviewing second graders from other classes to see what their favorite things are.  Wednesday was joke day, and in case you didn't know, your kids are hilarious!  They are fabulous joke tellers - even when they make up their own jokes!  Thursday we made kindness bags and shared with our classmates reasons why we like them...what a great ego booster!  And today we are reading, because we all LOVE to read!  We have been reading to self, reading with buddies, and listening to our book on tape.  It has been a great week!


Next week we will be watching Mary Poppins - I know it says that it is supposed to be educational, but I have checked with my class, and over two-thirds have never seen that movie!  Since it is one of my very favorites, I thought I would share it with them! 


We will also be letting our butterflies go next week - probably on Wednesday if the weather cooperates!  We will be releasing them at the end of the day, so if you would like to come and watch, you are invited, and it is really something to see!


On Friday, we are having PIZZA!  We will be eating our lunch out on the blacktop - so hoping for sun that day as well! 


I hope that everyone has a relaxing three day weekend - be safe and have fun!
