Scrolls/Miss Kelsey

The first pictures are of students who wrote their numbers REALLY far (to 1000 or more!)!  I had a contest for the kids to see who could write the most numbers by the end of the year.  We started this back in March and just finished today.  They ALL did a great job!

The last pictures are of the class with Miss Kelsey.  She was our HERO student from the high school this semester.  Miss Kelsey helped the kids individually, worked with them in small groups, and taught a large group lesson every Friday.  The students really made a strong connection with her and will miss her very much! 



Kadance, the winner!  She wrote to 2940!



Riley wrote to 1020!



Addie wrote to 1250!



Charli wrote to 2160!



I accidentally took a picture while I was walking up to the board to write.  The kids wanted me to include this picture! :)

We have to include a silly picture of course! :)

Showing off our Farm Field



Farmer Holden came to our classroom to talk to us about farming.  Treyton is smelling silage (one of the foods that cows eat).



Smelling Gluten--feels like play dough!




Measuring our feet against a horse shoe.




Farmer Holden talking about seed corn.

 As we are winding down the school year, our farm unit is coming to an end.  Kids have had the opportunity to grow a farm garden, dress up as farmers, visit a farm, read various books about farms, enjoy a farmer as a guest speaker, see videos and slideshows about farms/farm animals, and many more exciting activities.  My hope is that they have learned a lot about one of Iowa's greatest assets!  I also hope you enjoy the photos!

Farm Field Trip!

On Friday, we went on our Farm Field Trip to the Van Mannen Farm just outside of Newton. This is the first year we attended this farm and it was very educational! When we got to the farm, we ate lunch and cooked smores before going around the farm. Julie did a great job of explaining how to care for the cattle, chickens, turkeys, crops, and pigs. Students had the opportunity to see these animals and also different machinery (tractor, combine, semi truck). It was beautiful weather and the kids were worn out by the end of our trip. Before we left though, we HAD to roll down the big hill. I can't even begin to explain how much fun that was. Parents/Guardians who went along, PLEASE send me pictures as I did the rolling with the students and therefore, wasn't able to take any pictures! Overall, the day was a great success and a memory the kids will never forget!
Chris, Christy, Sabrina, Eileen, Sandy, Anna, Shawn, and Marilyn: Thank you SO very much for all your help on our trip! You are all AWESOME and I really appreciate all of your time, help and support to make our day a big success!
