Wow! I didn't realize just how important the internet is at our house. Ummm....well, it's pretty important. I have missed it so. Strange though, I finally talked with our internet provider and they said our modem was blown. We ordered a new one and while waiting for it to arrive this one starts working again. Hmmm. Have I been tricked into buying a new one?
Last time I blogged we were driving to Katy, Texas for my little sweet's DI competition. It was a fun filled, jam packed 3 days.
They didn't place but I think they did their BEST performance ever and we are determined that we will get to GLOBALS next year. They are an amazing group of kiddos.
Okay, I guess I'll share some things we have done in the classroom this past week. We spent some time learning the sound {oo, ew, ue}. We wrote our words on balloons trying to spare paper. It's seriously like GOLD around here. Oh...oh...oh...I almost forgot I filled each ballon with a special treat for the class. We will pop one each day as we count down to the last day of school. <-A friend shared this idea with me. Let me just say that I am POSITIVE there is an easier way to stuff a balloon but I just rolled up the paper and carefully slid it in and blew up the balloon. After blowing up a balloon for each kid in my class {22} I was seeing spots and light headed for the rest of the day. That is really pathetic, I know.

I hung each ballon from on a clothespin from the ceiling.
You can pick up my small unit Poppin' Balloons {click here} not to be confused with Poppin' Tags. hehe!
Have a Sweet day!
I also did a balloon countdown last year, but with a little twist. I put letters in the balloons, and we chose one at random to pop each day. So, the student would tell me the letter and I would check 'the list' diligently for the day's special treat...but I already had the days planned. (I am way too organized to have a surprise first thing in the morning!)
ReplyDeleteSome of our treats were getting a brand new 'fancy' pen and being able to use it all day, walking to the vending machine at the end of the block where I bought everyone a drink (you should have seen them trying to be low key as we were going/returning!) and having paper airplane contests in the hallway. I loved that class and did ten days...am thinking this year five is all I can handle!
PS: Thankfully I had a balloon inflator from our science kit! Otherwise I would have passed out!
So cute!
