Room 8 is GREAT!

We have had a BUSY week in Room 8 and it is only Wednesday!  Monday was our Valentine's Party.  We found out that the 50's were Nifty!  The kids had so much fun dressing up in 50's style clothing and eating their ice cream sundaes.  However, they were not so big on the idea of dancing!  We only danced about 2 minutes and I quickly realized that they were just not into it!  So, we just listened to 50's songs while we ate our ice cream!  I would have to say that my favorite part of the day was when one of my sweet girls came up to me and said, "Mrs. Weimer, are we in the 80's or the 50's?"  Too funny!  In the words of Bill Cosby, "Kids say the darndest things!". 

Today was another big day in our class.  We got our first visit from The SMART Table!  Please ask your child all about this!  The SMART table is like a portable SMART Board; however, it allows more than one student to interact with it at a time.  Up to 8 students can interact and manipulate the table at one time, allowing students to work cooperatively and problem solve.  Talk about a good time!  The students used the SMART table today to learn about ending sounds.  They worked together to sort pictures that ended with the same sound!  It was awesome!  The SMART table will be coming to our class every other Wednesday.  Have a look below at how much fun we had!
