Special Guest Visitor - Lt. Governor Phil Scott

Today we were so fortunate to have a guest visitor.  Lt. Governor Phil Scott spent time with us today in our class.  Mr. Scott joined us for word study and ran a red word station.  Students practiced saying and spelling their red words while jumping on the trampoline.  The kids LOVED having him here and he really enjoyed himself!  Below are some photos and some other word study stations reinforcing The "H" Brothers and red word practice.

Solids and Liquids Contracts

Last week we wrapped up our study of solids and liquids.  The students each had a contract to follow with 3 "have-to's" and a choice column to choose activities from.  They loved being free and able to move around the room to the different activities.  When they completed a task they needed to have it signed off by an adult in the room.  I hope I was able to capture the "academic" buzz of the room at this time through the photos.
