Blue Hands and Classroom Christmases

 

What's this? A post on an actual Sunday? With more than ten minutes to spare?

 

Told you I'd get better.

 

This week was short thanks to Columbus day, but we still got a lot done! Spelling tests, end-of-unit math reviews, number chains, word chains, a bajillion worksheets (naturally) - all kinds of unphotogenic things. The most exciting thing we did this week was continuing to work on our globes, which the Agents found around twelve times more fun than paper mache. Namely because they could dance around with paintbrushes and paint their whole hands blue.

How did I not see this coming?

We also got two surprise packages from my Aunt Shelly in Minnesota! She sent us tons and tons of fantabulous (that's fantastic and fabulous, people) books, from picture books to leveled readers.

 

Not gonna lie, I went totally fangirl over the Disney picture book series. I mean seriously, the spines of the book make up a castle when you put them in order. It doesn't get cooler than that, people. Seriously.

I have the best family on the planet, always sending me and the Agents cool things. At the beginning of the year my grandparents sent a couple boxes full of awesometacular (awesome and spectacular - I don't make these things up) books and teaching materials, like the Math Turbo game and the Yellow Word Maker-Magig.

 

 

 

The Agents really like getting these packages. I let them help open and unpack the boxes, and they have a lot of fun discovering what's inside. It's like Classroom Christmas.

 

 

Thanks Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Shelly!

This week is going to be splendiferous (splendid and...um...odiferous? No? Splendiferous is actually a word? Huh. The more you know.), mostly because Thursday is our very first field trip. We're going to Pumpkin Land, which is a super cool place full of pumpkins and corn and laughter. We'll also be finishing up those globes and making the fruit smoothies we didn't get to last week, and on Tuesday you can read about Agent M. and her sight word worksheets. What's that, you say? A field trip and fruit smoothies and an Agent M.-centered blog post all in one week?

Like I said. Splendiferous.

God bless,
