There Once was a Daisy

All of my Fourth Grade Science classes performed a wonderful reader's theater titled "There Once was a Daisy" for 14 classrooms and even Mr. Schindewolf and the office staff watched us!  The students did a wonderful job and should be very proud of their hard work and efforts!  We learned about food chains, food webs, and the cycle of life while working on our fluency with the reader's theater portion.  It was a great time and we appreciated all the support we received from our audiences!  Thanks, Shreve Elementary!

A visit from Honest Abe

We were lucky enough for Abraham Lincoln to come by and visit us!  We were able to enjoy a speech from him about what his life was like as he was growing up.  We learned a lot from him and enjoyed our afternoon with him.  Thank you, Mr. Lincoln for taking time with us!

Listening to Mr. Lincoln speak to us.

Mr. Lincoln was a tall man!

Thank you for a great day of learning!

Mystery Readers Return

First of all, I need to apologize for the lack of posts lately!  As many of you know, my son, Reid, had surgery to repair his palate.  This was his 5th repair, and much of my time and dedication has been to him over the past month.  The classroom blog definitely took a backseat!  I also have to apologize to Mrs. Esselburn.  She came in to mystery read to our class when I was caring for Reid, and we did not get a picture!  I have put that on my things to do list and will add her to our blog when I get a picture of her!  So, thanks, Mrs. Esselburn for reading to our class, and we will get you pictured super soon!

Thanks to Ms. Schemrich for coming to be our Mystery Reader last week!  We enjoyed having you, and loved hearing a story from when you were young!  Thanks for coming in!  We loved it!
