Honor Your Mother...

Today we celebrated our moms with some fun games and special hand-made poetry books!  It was so fun to have ten out of the twelve students' moms join us for the last hour of the day.

Game 1: How much do you know about your mom?

(Ten trivia questions to answer and then compare with mom!)

Game 2: Mother's Day Pictionary

(Phrases moms say -- like "Do your homework," "Don't jump on the bed," and "I love you!")

Poetry share: Quality time with Mom!

Other fun in class lately...

Playing Apples to Apples to review nouns and adjectives!

Counting down the days until the end of school!
(It's hard to believe that we're already at 12!)

During finals week in college, many students blew up balloons to pop after each final.  Thanks to Pinterest, I got the idea to modify this for my class.  I put slips of paper in each balloon with fun activities.  Each day we pop another balloon and celebrate the end of the year in that special way.  Today was barefoot day!
