Learning About Our Earth!

We sure got creative today! We were having our Social Studies lesson on the equator, the prime meridian, and the Northern and Southern Hemisphere's. The orange was a perfect prop...The kids may have thought I was crazy... But we sure did have fun!  

A quote from one of my students,"Ms. Helgen, you've ruined your orange. How will you ever eat it now?!"  Ha ha. 

We Love Raz-Kids!!

The kids are working so hard using this fantastic website called Raz-Kids. The teacher is able to go in and set reading levels for the students. The kids get to read tons of fun, exciting, and informational books on a level that fits their needs. The kiddos get to listen, read, and then answer questions about the story. It gives them plenty of opportunities to practice their reading skills. I love this website, and more importantly... So do the kids! 

Back and Working Hard!

Look at these kids!! Working so hard on their numbers in Math Stations. We may have been apart for two weeks... But these kids sure didn't forget how to do their job. Proud teacher right here!
