WOW...what a FUN day!! Our Winn-Dixie day went FANTASTIC!!! We knew we had to take care of some school business early on first thing this morning...so that's just what we did! We got our morning work done and took our spelling test! They learned very quickly that some of the "reference" books we used to use are not used much anymore such as an ENCYCLOPEDIA, TELEPHONE BOOK, ATLAS, AND ALMANAC! Man did they make me feel old! :/ Times are changing...very quickly!! :)
Then it was on to the party preparation. We had groups making egg salad, groups making peanut butter sandwiches, some decorating, some looking for dog pictures, Litmus Lozenges group, dump punch makers, and those in charge of the dill pickles!! They did AWESOME getting the party ready to go! Then they took a break and went to PE and then right after that it was time to EAT AND PARTY!! That we did!! In fact, some students realized very quickly how much they actually LOVE egg salad sandwiches (they were very surprised). Some even ate almost 8 sandwiches..whoa!!!!!! They danced, they ate, the talked, and they made a top 10 list that went right along with the story!! It was a great time!!
In the afternoon, we finished with the movie Because of Winn Dixie! They LOVED the movie...it was super cute, and was a wonderful way to end our Winn-Dixie day!! It was such a great day!!
Next week we start a new story and a new unit in math! It's going to be great getting started on some new topics!! Have a wonderful weekend!! Remember to read those AR books in your free time!!
