bittersweet post

Sad news...this is my last post for the Hoot of a P-3 Class. Great news...I will begin teaching the K4 class Tuesday and will change the blog accordingly. After 8 1/2 years of teaching P3, I am on to bigger adventures, without leaving the CS! Our summer program starts Tuesday and so does my new position. Luckily I am the only teacher in the school not having to change rooms! I am looking forward to a fun filled summer full of splash days, music, field trips, popsicles, and more. To end the school year, this post will be dedicated to my awesome students, the wonderful job they did at the Recognition Program, and their families. I was truly blessed knowing each and every student and their families. I look forward to teaching some of you in the fall and wish nothing but the best of those who will be leaving our school. I love you all.

These were my end of the year treats. You can print the wrappers for free at Lisa Storms' blog. "Owl miss you!" The portfolio was full of writing, math, and art samples for the students and parents to take home. I also sent home their daily writing journals.

Thank you for a wonderful school year! Ms. Jaysa <3



Science Lab

On Wednesday, we were fortunate to go on a scavenger hunt to look for things in nature at the Black Belt Garden and at the duck pond.  The students located every item on their list except for a squirrel! You would think that would be something easy to find, but it wasn’t on our walk that day.  The kids found such things as a butterfly, ducks, cattails, pine trees, oak trees, ants and much more! We had a great time, and we want to thank Brian and Rosa for taking us on our scavenger hunt and teaching us so much about nature.  We are looking forward to going back!

We've had a busy day today. We walked over to Wallace Hall this morning after PE and practiced for our Recognition Program (Monday 6pm).

We had just enough time to come back and have our first read-aloud for Peter's Chair.

It's so hard to believe that we are coming to the end of a school year and winding things down. We have an exciting summer ahead full of Splash Days, Music, Swimming Lessons, Danishes with Dad, and field trips!!!

Can you make music with a piece of paper?

Yes you can!

The students wrote in their journal about a vocabulary word from Gary and Harry and then learned step by step how to draw a turtle. :)

Our vocabulary words from Gary and Harry: softy, adventure, explore, hull, algae, gasping, choking, Heimlich maneuver and our writing center this afternoon
