Dolphins and Puppies

I would like to share some great quotes from my little “Tinkerbell.”  When we were retelling the story of Jonah and the Whale (Big Fish, whatever), I was having them help me tell the story.  So after they threw him overboard, I said, “What happened after that?!”  Tink shrieks, “HE GOT EATED BY A DOLPHIN!” 

A side note about this picture--someone asked me why Jonah had no sandals...probably because Miss Rabedeaux couldn't find a Jonah praying so she used a "Shalom" drawing instead.  Oops!

Second moment—I was asking my class what different farm animals eat.  When I got to a cow, I got some typical responses, like grass and hay, but then Tink shouts (it seems she is always yelling) “Puppies!!!”  Cow-eating puppies anyone?

Monday was full of meetings—which I will willingly admit are not my favorite—but at least one great thing came out of them!  We were encouraged to make anchor charts for our “I can” statements for our letter of the week.  Check it out:

This week in science we learned about color mixing.  First we made some predictions with our primary colors, then we tested our hypothesis by using eye-droppers and colored water.  I read the book, Mouse Colors to keep reinforcing what we learned, and then they used q-tips and paint to mix their own colors.  It was fun to see the results!

This is a an example of someone who did it the right way... there were some that had a bit of trouble following directions...they looked a little more...brown?
