YUMMY!

Well... We did it! Check out our Gingerbread Houses! The whole 2nd floor smelled like sugar! I have to say that I am so very proud of my class! They worked so nicely together and shared with students who forgot to bring in ingredients. Everyone did a wonderful job of creating their masterpiece. To top it off, the class did a spectacular clean-up job! (You all know the word that describes me when it comes to my room... right Daysha?...persnickety!) Oh. And a special thank you to my mom, Mrs. Becker, for the help!

Let's Play MATH games!

Hey! Let's check out the Everyday Math Games online! Just click on the title of my post, and away you go! If you're not one of my math students, send me a comment, and I'll be happy to add you... Did you know that you can access this from home? Did you know that it has a TALKING copy of your SRB??? How totally cool is that?

Are ya stressed yet?

Thanks, King, for pointing out I'm a little behind on my posts. Life has been VERY busy! What with entering report card marks, getting ready for Thanksgiving, and starting to shop for the holidays! Not to mention all of our tests lately- Everyday Math tests, WRAPs, Gates, and of course... the BENCHMARKS! Soooo..... I'm just feeling a little frenzied! How about you? Are you gearing up for the season and what's to come, or are you chilled and mellow? 

Meet My Dog, Purdy.

Well, as many of you know, my dog died last weekend. I'm still having a hard time- am very sad. She was like a family member to me. (That's her picture on the left. Isn't she soooo cute?) Anyhow, we had her for 15 years, and she used to play with my daughter, Lara, like a sister. Her name was Purdy, after 101 Dalmatians. (Lara named her that.) Purdy was quite a character! She believed in taking care of the environment by "recycling" paper goods. She would eat toilet paper from the roll, tissues, and was even bold enough to push the dining room chairs out and climb on the table to eat the napkins! 

I'll be happy to share more stories about her antics. But first, I want YOU to share something with me! Do you have a pet? Do you wish you did? Tell me....

WAY TO GO 214!

AND THE WINNER IS...

King wanted to know what I thought of the volley ball game between the students and the 4th grade teachers. I thought it was amazing! Who knew that those teachers could move like that? Poor Ms. Cooper got knocked over at the end by her cheering fans! Good thing no one got hurt!

               So what did YOU think???

HERE'S A SHOUT OUT TO MY KIDS FROM THE PAST!

HERE'S A GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY STUDENTS FROM YEARS PAST! I love that the 6th graders are blogging with me- but you guys have GOT to remember to put your NAME instead of clicking on anonymous. Looks like you keep forgetting to choose "NAME/URL" and put your FIRST NAME in, then click publish.

OK????? I won't be retyping your posts anymore after this- so if I get anymore "Anonymous" comments, I'm going to have to delete them... : (

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
