Non-traditional Journal Writing!

Catherine Thimmesch, a children't author, made a visit McKinley school!
She read us one of her books and talked with us about writing.

She told us that when she is writing she doesn't like to just sit in a chair all the time. 
She likes to find different places/ways to write.  
Some times she even writes hanging upside down on a chair!

We decided that we needed to try out some different ways to write too!

I is for Igloo! (Phy Ed)

 Watch how we make an igloo with the parachute!
(Thank you Mrs. Lill!)





Ta-da: Igloo!


I forgot to post these! - Too fun to leave out!

We read Get Out of Bed by Robert Munsch!
In the story a girl stays up all night and can't get out of bed the next morning so her parents bring her to school in her bed!  During Art class at school the other children paint her so...

 we decided to be artists in the same way!























We are AMAZING artists!



SNOW!!

The SNOW is here and MOST of us are happy about that!!




Wait, how did you do that? : )

50's Drive in Movie!

A quick drive through the Car Wash on our way to the Movie!


 Traffic Jam!

We made it to the Drive-In with only 1 lost tire!

Paying for our ticket with our Sight Word Money!
Children had to read their word to get their ticket!



Waiting for the First Movie of the "Double Feature" to start!

Feature 1 : Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

Mrs. Schoeneck's class joined us in their cars at the Drive-In!
Thank you for coming Orange Team - we LOVE doing things with you!







Intermission!
Time to purchase some POPCORN!

Looking relaxed in her car - I hope she doesn't fall asleep during the movie!
