21 Peanut Butter Sandwiches . . .

I made 21 pb & jelly sanwiches today!! The kids had to explain something in writing, so I figured that how to make a pb&j would be something that they could all explain. At first I had sandwiches that had the jar of peanut butter on top of the bread, or the bread still in the bag. Some kids even wanted to enjoy their sandwich while it just sat there on the napkin!! In the end, they all smashed the bread and eat their sandwiches. All of the kids were able to complete the task. I'm pretty proud of them. Have a great 3 day weekend. Have fun and be safe!

Welcome . . .

Hi new students and parents! I can't wait to meet you all! I hope that we have a great year filled with lots of fun activities and above all . . . LEARNING!! It is my hope that you will be able to utilize this website and that it will be a useful tool for you this year. I will use this site to cover important events, homework, and spelling words for the week. Please check this website weekly if you can!

I found an awesome website called http://www.spellingcity.com/ . . . let me tell you . . . this website rocks!! The students can use this website to practice their spelling words for the week!! The kids need to click on the student block and it takes them to a that has a blank spelling list. In the right hand column there is a text box that tells you how to use the site. This part is important. To get to our spelling lists, the student needs to click the Find Your List link. Then it will take them to another page. On this page they will just need to enter in my last name: Tuttle. This will take them to yet another page that has a large list of spelling lists. The lists are categorized by the story that we are reading and the group that your child is in. All you have to do is then click on one of the choices: Test Me, Teach Me, Play a Game, or Print. I think that this will be an awesome tool for the upcoming year!! We will also be accessing this site at school, too!

See you soon!!

End of the year . . .
