Flags!

The winning flag!  It is hanging on the board.

               On Monday September, 16, 2013 our class decided that we needed a classroom flag.  A lot were very good, but only one could be the almighty flag that stands on the right on the white board.

               A Flag had to include many things.  Some things included the class name, everyone in it, the room number, etc.  A lot of people had a good flag.  But Jordan’s flag was the one that won.  Mine was good, but I think Jordan deserves to win.

Our Classroom Preamble

Everybody knows the preamble is the beginning of the Declaration of Independence. It stated what the presidents will do to make a better country.

Everybody who lives in the USA knows the constitution. It started with the preamble. The constitution states the freedom and justice for all. We made our own preamble that states how our classroom is and how we will behave. Check it out!

Summer Learning Fun!

I'm pretty sure that the Thinkers are enjoying their summers (at least from the pictures I've seen floating around!  10 Thinkers in one dunktank?!) and so is their teacher!

It's been a wonderful summer, relaxing with Sparky, taking lots of walks, and rubbing my knuckles raw.  Well, maybe that last part wasn't so wonderful, but the new tiles in my kitchen and bathroom look amazing!  Renovating my house was pretty fun, though I don't intend to pick up grout any time soon!

Anyway, while the Thinkers are relaxing, their teacher is LEARNING!  Today kicks off the official back-to-school mentality, as I have three technology in education presentations in the next 48 hours.  Don't get me wrong, I'm still savoring summertime.... yet.... I'm getting excited about all the new learning adventures that await this fall!

Check out my presentations HERE!

 Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!

Smiles,
