Busy, Busy Bees!



WOO-HOO! It’s finally Friday. We were lil’ busy bees this week. Lots of special events took place.

Monday- First grade dance practice

Tuesday- First grade dance practice and our evening performance

Wednesday- 5th grade science buddies

Thursday- Lucas Miller came to perform for us his science songs and library day

Friday- Percussion Assembly

Thank you for those who brought their child to participate in the dance!!! The students worked their tails off remembering all the dance moves. Luckily, we had an even number of students so I did not have to perform with the class. Phew.
Even with this busy schedule with all the transitioning from one place to another, the students were pretty well behaved. They earned lots of links this week and are getting really close to earning their next class party, which they voted on a root beer float party. I hope they earn the party soon because a root beer float sure sounds good right about now. Mrs. Skalaban and I kind of agreed that we're never having a normal schedule ever again. There has been something each week.
On Wednesday, our science buddies helped us make our own little chia pets. The kids took it home and are suppose to water it daily in order for it to grow. When we have science buddies, it 's an organized chaos in Mrs. Flemings' room. We have 3 teachers, about 25 5th graders and 38 little first graders crammed in one room. It's so great to see the kids have so much fun bonding with each other.


Lucas Miller paid us a visit Thursday afternoon and educated us on different topics of science through songs, slideshows, and puppets. The kids had so much fun watching and singing along. He was quite the comedian. I’ve never seen the kids laugh so hard before. Check him out on YouTube!
So glad it’s the weekend. I feel like I’m coming down with a mixture of a case of really bad allergies and a cold. My body started aching Thursday night and it hasn’t gone away.
Silly Quote of the Week:
N: Cô Tracy, how come you’re so small?”

Me: “What do you mean I’m small?”

N: “How come you don’t look like a grown up?”

Me: “Oh, it’s because I didn’t drink enough milk when I was a kid”

N: “Is that why you look like a teenager?”
