Yay! Gumdrop retuned! He looked like he was looking on as Twinkle gobbled down a whole lot of whipped cream! They both had the cutest earmuffs on to keep toasty warm!
It took a bit of searching to find Twinkle this morning - and Gumdrop, her reindeer, was no where in sight. We finally found that Cotton-Headed Ninny-Muggins!
We've been busy getting ready for fractions. We've had challenge problems in homework and have been doing lots of journal work during our math block every day. My students are getting to be masters!
So, it's been chilly, y'all! But, let's be real - it is still SoCal!
My kids are masters at utilizing their imaginations though - so writing about catching snowflakes on their tongues was a breeze for these smart cookies!
First, we brainstormed about how snowflakes look and feel and then made a process map to think about the sequence of events to actually catch a snowflake - AND - what that might feel like. Tree Maps and Flow Maps - oh my!
THEN, OMG, then... my kids created works of art like this that line our hallowed hallway...
On Friday we came in to find that Twinkle -- 2.0 - DON'T ASK :( -- had been busy making paper chains and causing general mayhem by taking over Willie's tunnel, hideaway and Yellow table's supplies! Oh that elf is mischievous!
There's no telling what's she's been up to this weekend!
