Maps, Maps, Maps!

The students have had an amazing week with Miss Sheehan!  They have been so busy working on learning their addresses, exploring maps and observing various art pieces.  I'm afraid they don't want me back!  Here are a few photos of one part of the class map project.

Love the floating heads!

The whole class

Bunch of Turkeys!!

Today we made turkey headbands.  I gave them bits of different colored paper and a large piece of oaktag for the headband.  Check out the results!

One turkey!

Relaxed Reading

Sometimes we just need to take a break from all the hard work we are doing!  We call this relaxed reading (shhhh, don't tell them they are still working hard!).  The students choose a comfortable place in the room to read quietly to themselves.  Many like to use one of the cushions or pillows I have available and others love to sit in the teacher's chair.  Relaxed reading provides a great time for me to listen to a variety of students whisper read their books to me.

A very relaxed reader!

Looking comfy!
