BIGtime Slacker!

Yup, that's me.  We've done so many cool things and I have not shared any photos.  But I am currently procrastinating planning for the week and choosing to catch up with you instead.

1.  Vermicomposting!  The Williams-Cone Wigglers (as we fondly named them) have been moved to Mrs. Kish's Second Grade Class, but not without a fond farewell.  We took them out, played with them, noticed their babies, dropped water near them and wrote about them.  Too cool, really.

Are they IN there?

Let me take a closer look.

I noticed their bodies have segments.

2.  Old Fort Western
Oh, my, you are going to be reading forEVER.  But this sure beats a black and white photo copied newsletter cluttering up your kitchen counter, right?  We visited the textile room, the kitchen and the wood station.

The bus ride TO Old Fort Western!  "This is the best field trip ever!"

Holding the log while 2 others have their turn with the saw! 

Ready to take the wood we split to the Kitchen!

The GANG!

They have ARRIVED!

The new leveled texts that I ordered have arrived.

First...I'm not sure how to flip the photo, but you get the idea.  It's a new stack of 40 leveled books!  We'll add this to our other smaller order that arrived last week, for our classroom library.  The class will have these, more current texts to shop and read from in their book boxes.  Woo Hoo!

Second...If you have a first, you're supposed to have a second, right?  So...thank you for visiting and discussing your children at conference time.  I always love the time to check-in, share their work and our classroom.
