Italian Market

Orange Pod's Italian market was yesterday!

For the past several weeks, we have all been very busy creating amazing products to sell. To help create a little "buzz" about the merchandise, we made commercials to advertise for our stores before the market opened. Our store, Byoodiful Beechis and Fantastick Farms, sold sand art, a "fish in the sea" jello snack, shark tooth necklaces, goat masks, and samples of real goat cheese.

Check out our commercials:

While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time to catch up on my very long list of "to do's," I am certainly looking forward to getting back in the classroom and spending as much time as I can with your precious children before the end of the year is here. I can't believe we only have 30 days left!!!!

OOBLECK videos

In today's newsletter, it says that I have posted videos of your sweet boys and girls exploring oobleck. Well... the videos are all ready to be uploaded, but for some unknown reason, my blog is not allowing that to happen right now. This has happened before with pictures, so I'll keep checking back each day until I'm able to post the videos. Once again, thank you for your patience!

What would YOU do if the Cat in the Hat knocked on your door???



The Foot Book

After reading The Foot Book, we used a Venn diagram to graph which type of shoes we were wearing.

Then we drew conclusions based on our findings.

There's a Wocket in My Pocket

Dr. Seuss uses LOTS of make-believe rhyming words in his books. We like to call them "Seuss words."

After reading There's a Wocket in My Pocket, we came up with some of our own Seuss words. :)

green foods

After reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, we came up with a list of some more foods that are green:

 

green eggs & ham

On Friday, the lunch room served up green eggs and ham! Much to my delight, most of our school lunches
