Thank you TESPTO for the wonderful food and beautiful table-scape yesterday!  It feels good to be appreciated, thank you!

The room is changing, but the hallway looks the same.  Getting out our folders and snacks can still be challenging.  This made me LOL yesterday because the items were stacked neatly in the middle of the hallway and the child was telling me how happy they were to be so organized. LOL!  

A new whale shelf is just the thing we needed to store and share our reading strategies!  I hope your children have shared what they know.  We added a new element to our room, the VIP table.  In order to achieve VIP status, a student must be a bucket-filler that exhibits model student behavior.  At the VIP table, the student gets to have their own storage whale container filled with quiet activities of play dough and jelly animals; scented crayons that work like magic, and keep their "just right" books with them for a week!
