Linking up again with Doodle Bugs Teaching to give you a quick recap of my week:
1. Read Across America Day!
One way we celebrated today was with a hat contest. Here are some of the creative hats that came in today:
 |
| She has feathers, fringe, and SPARKLES on her hat! AWESOME!! |
 |
| This one was my favorite, but didn't win the class vote. He has truffula trees on top and a Lorax masquerade mask! |
 |
| She is wearing a stocking hat, but attached Thing 1 to it and drew pictures of Dr. Seuss characters and pinned them all around. |
 |
| This was the winner in our class. He was calling it the "High 5 Hat!" It's actually an ice cream bucket with blown up rubber gloves. Not really a Dr. Seuss hat, but definitely creative and funny! |
 |
| There may or may not be an empty Caramel Delites box in the garbage can as well... |
3. Working on Native American Research and Presentations
YES second graders can work in cooperative groups! YES second graders can make PowerPoint slideshows! I can't wait to show you how they turn out next week!

Lastly, Diane from Fifth in the Middle coordinated an AH-MAZE-ING linky for all 50 states! I can't begin to imagine how much time it took her for to do this!

| I kept leaving the hole punch around the room and would forget where I put it, so I put it on a string and wore it like a necklace. LOL! |

Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you didn't get a snow day - I can't totally relate to the drive you must have had.
I am looking forward to seeing your powerpoints - I've done that with my second graders, too!
Thanks for commenting on my blog-
Your WI blogging friend,

Love those hats! How adorable and creative! I found your blog via blog by state linky party. I'm a fellow WI blogger. Sorry to hear you didn't end up with a snow day. That drive looks scary and this is coming from another WI native.
