 My Favorite Part of Gator Games

My favorite part of Gator Games was the water slide because after we did a lot of non-water games it helped us cool down.

-Myles Wilson

My favorite part about Gator Games was Shoot It.  My other favorite part was the popsicles too. I had fun at Gator Games today.

- Sydney Crislip 

My favorite part of Gator Games was the long jump. I liked it because it really helped me get better at jumping. It also made me build up confidence.

-Bennett Watts

My favorite part of Gator Games was Tic Tac Toe. To play you would try to throw a bean bag in a hoop. If your team gets three in a row you get one point. The team to five pints first wins. In Tic Tac Toe we were against another team. Unlike actual Tic Tac Toe we did not take turns we just went when the person in front of us finished their turn. It was a really fun game and helped me with my throwing.

-Khushi Udani       

Math- I moved the  Module 7 test to Tuesday. We will be reviewing basic multiplication facts and working on harder multiplication problems as well.

Language Arts- We will continue reading Lemonade War.

Science- We will wrap up our unit on magnets with a test on Friday.

Yearbooks- If your child ordered a yearbook they received it today. If you did not order one and would like to purchase one, you can do so by visiting the front office, but it has to be purchased by a parent. The cost is $30. 

Reading Counts

Congrats to Khushi for earning her Reading Counts Shirt!!! (I wasn't here the day she earned it so that is why she doesn't have it on in her picture.) We have one week left...will anyone else earn one? May 20th is the last day! 

Next Week

I have the sweetest group of students. They all started trying to come up with a way to make a sign for me and color and sign it. One student brought the sign in while others brought in markers and they worked on it together in the hallway this morning. They were so excited about the surprise. The made me sit in my rocking chair and walked it in like a parade!! 

Thanks for all the little goodies from your children this week for Teacher Appreciation! It is hard for me to believe we only have 19 days left of school, but who's counting! ;) 

Math- We will finish up Module 7 on Geometry, Area and Perimeter with a test on Friday.
