50th Day of School

The boys were stylin' in their 50's day gear!

Our small group of girls! Poodle skirts and white shirts-- they looked precious.

Bubble Gum blowing contest.

This is the little dude that was blowing a bubble................

that kept growing bigger, and bigger, and bigger................And this is the bubble he won the bubble blowing contest with!!

The students tried so hard to hula hoop. It's hard to do so Mrs. Moran gave the students some tips.

The students enjoyed root-beer floats in the classroom!

Everyone gathered in the cafeteria for a Sock Hop. Mr. Hume told the students about life in the 50's and then he and Mrs. Owen showed the students some 50's dance moves!

October 4-8

Monday we had some farm animals come to school! We got to put the rabbits, chicken, and Petunia the minature pot bellied pig!

This week we studied the letters N and D.

We made tactile Ns by covering them with noodles.

We made noodle necklaces.

We read a decodable book with our sight words, go and we!

Played in the bubbles on the way to recess as a good behavior reward.

Had show and tell.

Real People Read

On Friday, October 1st, Dr. Swinford, the superintendent of the VWSD kicked off her reading initative called "Real People Read" at SAE!

We were so lucky to have all the "real people" at our school on that day.

After the kickoff, Mr. Jerry Bolen came to our classroom and read "There Wasn An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!".

And then there was a group hug!

And... a group photo!

September 27- October 1

This was a week full of farm fun!

Pigs!Of course you can't have a pig on a farm unless you have mud. So....we made chocoloate pudding mud puddles!
First you must mix the milk and the pudding and let it sit until it's like pudding instead of milk!

Then you spread it all around.....

Farm books of all types.... But our favorite book was Mrs. Wishy Washy...
Friday we made pig cookies. Pink icing, a sugar cookie, 1 large pink marshmellow, 2 butterscotch chips, 2 chocoloate chips and a popsickle stick are all you need!

Students spreading their pink icing to make the pig body.

Something you would find on the farm was our show and tell topic this week!

September 20-24

Apples were our focus this week!

Here the students are displaying their "Apple Annie" characters. On Friday our school particiated in the Mississippi State Extension "Body Walk". It was a walk through body where we learned facts about each part of your body. Thanks to some parent volunteers for leading a group through!

The Fun Friday treat was to make apple pies. Mrs. Abraham slices the apples as the students wait patiently.

The students all helped make the apple pie- 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time.
Sprinkle some cinnamon!

Add the butter, cover the top with another crust, and put it in the oven.
Tasting the pie after it was finished baking!

Some students were not so sure about the apple pie- but most took at least one bite!
