Reading. . .

On Wednesday afternoons, students from our class pair up with their Kindergarten reading buddies. It's been a really wonderful time.

WELCOME. . .

We have two new additions to our class: Diana and Albert Einstein.






We bought Einstein with money earned at our bake sale. A snake was our first choice (teacher veto), followed by a prairie dog. We settled on a hamster.

You can't always get. . .

"You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you might find
You get what you need"
~The Rolling Stones

CONRADI CASH has been the currency of Room 12 for the last week. Recess? 20 dollars. Need to sharpen your pencil? 1 dollar. Lunch? 5 dollars. Water during class? 10 dollars. And the list goes on. . . .

The students are learning about the economic choices we make and about the differences between our wants and our needs. It's definitely been fun watching some kids opt out of recess (reading instead in order to save money), and kids are definitely more conscientious about their pencils (not wanting to fork over 5 dollars for a new one.)

I WILL EAT GREEN EGGS AND BACON

As part of our Dr. Seuss celebration on March 2nd, we ate green eggs and bacon. The kids had a blast and the smell of bacon wafted through the halls of JL Francis (inciting jealousy from other classes).

Fun times!
