Wow, two blog posts in one day! I finally had a chance to upload the videos. Our long awaited "RAP" video has been completed. We have been practicing several different addition strategies learn our basic addition facts. We have learned the strategy of counting up, making a model/picture, doubles and making a ten. We will continue practicing our basic addition facts, please keep working at home.
We had a lot of fun learning the Rap song! The students are very proud and I think they deserve to be. They worked hard and they are proud. I'm not naming names, but some students have been wanting to sign autographs (they are so cute). Since the video has been uploaded the students will really be strutting around like they are famous rappers! Sorry.
The time has arrived! Our 3rd Annual Shark Run/Walk will be happening on Friday, September 26th. We will join up with Nikkari at the High School Track from 1:00-2:00. The students will be walking or running the track in order to raise money for our St. Louis Elementary PTO. We do this instead of a catalog fundraiser. PTO feels very strong about having ALL students participate. All of our students benefit from the fundraising, so we like to give them all the opportunity to participate in a fun way. There will be some "Celebrity' walkers, some rockin' music, a balloon launch, sunshine, and lots of fun!
Today I had a very special announcement for the students. Please watch our quick video to learn about the Run/Walk and hear our AWESOME announcement.
If you would like to sponsor a Runner/Walker or just make a general donation to our class total, please let me know. I have some very excited students that are ready to Run/Walk for pledges! We home to see you there on Friday (tomorrow)!
Students should wear their Red and Black school colors or JAWESOME shirts from last year.Please contact me with any questions.
