Leprechaun Traps

Today the Gorillas video conferenced with Mrs. Blazosky's (Room B7) first grade students. Room B7 wrote stories and made Leprechaun traps that they wanted to share with us. The traps were extremely creative and the stories were fabulous. Here are a few shots from our skype conference.

Class Literature Circles

Every month Mrs. Abernethy's Global Gorillas read different books. Then every week they do a project about their books. They present their projects to the whole class! It's so amazing to see all the fantastic work the class puts into their literature circle projects. Students sit on a red chair called the hot seat to present their projects. The way they present them makes it fantastic to watch. Some students in the class are shy and they don't speak very loud. I don't know what they have to be shy about. Projects are presented every Friday! Students must put their name, their book's title, and their book's author on the projects. Please check out our Literature Circle Blog to view some projects! There are some example below. Bye!!!!

My Weekend with Kayla G.

On Fri. we watched TV and I got to meet Kayla's bird, Buddy. He is so cool, because he can say "Hello," "What's up," and a lot more. On Saturday, we went to a sleepover at her friend's house. Their names are Isaiah and Mercedes. There we played hide 'n seek and we set up Mercede's tent. It was a lot of fun too. Then on Sunday, we went shopping and had a birthday party for her friend Mason. He just turned three. My weekend with Kayla G. was so fun. Then we had to get up and go to school, but we had fun.
