Symbaloo

I am in the process of posting a link to the DVD's that I sent home yesterday!  Make sure you check them out!  They are Wonderful! Thank you Hilary Bertsch for all of your extra time in our classroom to make that project happen!

MISS THEM ALREADY

It feels really strange to be sitting in my classroom--bare walls, empty chairs, cleared off desks.  I was just clearing through e-mails and came upon this picture!

Owl Pellet Dissections

A Quick Note from Miss Argall....

 

Here are some Owl Pellet Dissection pictures!! J  Owl Pellets are when barn owls swoop down and eat their prey in one gulp. The owls cannot digest the fur and bones so after 20 hours they regurgitate it back up. The students got to sift through the owl pellet and piece together to see what kind of rodent their owl ate! Gross I know! J

SneakPeak @ My End of the Year Gift

Yesterday, I gave each of the students a list of all of the names of the individuals in our classroom. I had them each write one word next to each name. A word that best described the person.  Here's a Sneak Peak of what the students said about me...and a sneak peak at what I will be sending home with each of them regarding the comments their peers made about them! They are coming together so nicely...and I'm enjoying every moment of it!

I can't even begin to comprehend that tomorrow is the last Friday of the school year. This year has been a blast...learning right alongside your children! They've really been a class to remember!  :)
