Read-a-thon picnic

As a reward for reading and passing the tests for 100 AR books my students picked a read-a-thon picnic. So for lunch on Wednesday they brought blankets, books, and stuffed animals. Then we went and got our lunches and brought them back to the classroom to eat. Then after lunch we read on our blankets and then even had math while they sat on their blankets. It really was a lot of fun and they totally loved it!

Ok so I am going to be competing in the Miss Farmington pageant on May 3. It's definitely not my thing...I hate being in front of people but I'm gonna give it a shot. Anyways along with the pageant we do different things to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. We each have a goal of raising $100. So if you want to help me out and donate click on the link below and it will be added to my total. Your donation will be considered a charitable donation for tax purposes and a receipt will be provided at the end of the year.

Classroom materials!

So there is this really cool website where people or businesses can donate money to different classrooms for different things. The teacher writes up a proposal of what they want and why and then the website allows people to make donations to the projects of their choice and they can donate as little or as much as they want! Anyways I have a proposal up for a classroom set of materials to help my kids learn their math! So if you know any companies or people wanting to donate money or wanting a tax write off send them here to help my classroom out!

Quote of the day!

So sometimes my students say cute things that I just can't help but smile over. On Mondays we always go around the circle and share one thing from the weekend. Well today after they had all shared one of them said "Miss Wintle what did you do?" To which my cute little Cole said "Well duh...she went shopping...just like she always does!" If you know me at all you know why this is funny. I am a total shopaholic and apparently they have picked up on this!
