Finally a new Post

I can't believe that it's been almost a whole month since I've updated my blog!!! Part of the reason is that I got blocked
 from my blog and had to find someone to help me figure out how to get around to where I was a manager and all this crazy technology stuff that I don't understand.  The good news it that I know how to do it now and I can finally update this! 

Here's what the latest and greatest is:

We finally got something up in the hallway thanks so much to Mrs. Abrahamson for coming in to help with it!!  Everyone was even here that day!!  It's an idea I got from pinterest of course.  These are silly jack-o-lanterns.  I think they turned out great!!

Another thing that we did was had our first reading celebration.  We had a guest reader come in and read to our class.  Mr. Smith was our guest reader.  He came in and read 'The Principal from the Black Lagoon' to us.  Then we all signed a Reading Constitution that we created together.  This is something that we pledge to do during readers' workshop to make readers' workshop a place where everyone can work hard to become better readers.  We thought it would be a great idea to make an owl and we could then each sign a feather and then we could hang the owl on our giant willow tree in the library.  Here's how it turned out:



One more fun thing that we did was finished a chapter book of a series called Ready Freddy.  The title was 'Going Batty'.  At the end it teaches you how to draw a bat.  We decided we would give it a try.  Here's how they turned out:
