It's Friday!

Enough said.... enjoy the sunshine and spring break - even though it's going to look different than we originally thought.  Miss my classroom family and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thankful Thursday

Hope you're having a great day and enjoying the sunshine!

I will start our new read aloud tomorrow...I had to fix the link from yesterday!

Here's a challenge if you're up for one today... it's from Lego. 

I thought this would fit in nicely with finishing up The Wild Robot.  Ask a grown up to help you post your creation in the comments below!  Have fun!

Here are the completed robots...looking forward to seeing them all when they are completed!

Take care! Talk to you soon!

Post update:

Maelle was up for the Lego robot challenge... here's her creation!  Thanks for sharing, Maelle!  If you decide to make one too, please email me a pic and then I can upload it to this post.  Maelle and I learned that we aren't able to post a pic in the comments!  

Here's Chanya's robot creation:

I hope you enjoyed this story!  It truly is one of my favourites! I just love Roz and I'm not ready for the story to be finished!  Good thing Peter Brown wrote a sequel, The Wild Robot Escapes.



The sequel to the bestselling The Wild Robot, by award-winning author Peter Brown
Shipwrecked on a remote, wild island, Robot Roz learned from the unwelcoming animal inhabitants and adapted to her surroundings--but can she survive the challenges of the civilized world and find her way home to Brightbill and the island?



In the comments, tell us about your favourite part of the entire story and describe why you liked it.

Now... what will I read to you next??  Anyone interested in  The Wild Robot Escapes?

Wacky Wednesday!

The sun is shining!  What a day!  This was the view of my backyard this morning.  Hope you're able to get out and enjoy a good play in the snow that was dumped on us yesterday! We'll have to enjoy it... hopefully it will be one of the last snows and the spring melt will be on the way.

I found a fun site this morning that is full of brain teasing riddles!  It's called Ice Breaker Ideas.  See if you can answer some yourself... or challenge someone you know! 

Keep taking good care of yourself and the people around you.  Remember to stay balanced... do some work, read a little, play some games, have a nap, help someone out at home... and don't forget to wash your hands!!

The Wild Robot Continued!

Here it is! Two chapters for you today!

Can you believe how much it is snowing?  I couldn't see the play structure from our classroom windows when I left school this afternoon.  I'm glad we're all safe at home today!  Hopefully you will  be able to enjoy some of this white stuff!


Chapter 77 is called The Meeting.  Any predictions??  Who will be at the meeting?  Why are they having a meeting?

I'm looking forward to hearing what you're thinking.  Please leave a comment!

Take good care!

Choose to be happy

Here's a little lesson from our friend, Ishi.... Choose to find small (or big) happiness today and appreciate all that you do have!

Thanks to everyone who popped in to pick up their packages... remember to pace yourself!  Spend some time reading, writing and keeping your math brain from catching cobwebs!  I sure love that our days are filled with lots of sunshine and the weather is warming up.
