Fall is here!

School has begun and the school year is in full swing! Thank you to everyone who came to open house on September 20th. The past 7 weeks have been full of learning and I am excited to share with you what we have been up to.

Tattle Tongue

We started the year by learning about what it means to tattle. We did a quick activity where we came up with tattling rules. We also sorted out different situations by if they were tattles or emergencies.

Apple Sauce

To end our science unit on apples we made applesauce. The kids loved seeing the apples cook down. Their favorite part was watching me use the blender to turn the cooked apples into apple sauce!

Wack-A-Mole Spelling

To help us review our spelling words we have been playing a wack-a-mole spelling review game. The kids love using their mini mallets made out of pencils and pool noodles!

Open House

For open house we always make a magnet of some kind to hold our work. This year students painted popsicle sticks and we turned them into school buses! It was hard work and the hot glue gun had to be involved but they came out great!

Shadows and Light

Towards the middle of September we began a new unit on shadows and light. Kids got to experiment with flashlights. They used different objects and determined if they were opaque, translucent, or transparent.

That's what we have been up to! Check back in October for more news on what we are doing and for some cool new pictures!

Welcome back!

Welcome to room 1-B at Spann Elementary. I am excited to be your child's teacher this year and look forward to communicating with you. I hope you browse the website and check out our classroom and read about our class! 

Below is a form that I would like you to complete before the new school year begins. This will give me important information that I can use throughout the year. Thank you!

Fun Run!!!

Tomorrow is the Spann Elementary Fun Run! Thank you to all our families who have been working hard to raise funds for our school. Your support means so much. 

With only one day left in the program, tonight is the LAST NIGHT for pledging before the Spann Elementary Fun Run. Would you consider reaching out to one or two more sponsors tonight?

Make sure your child wears sneakers tomorrow and brings a sweater or jacket in case of weather changes. If you have any questions, please let me know. We hope to see you and your family tomorrow at the big event!

Have a wonderful day!

Also it’s not too late to register your child on funrun.com and earn a free prize. Use our school registration code: 836454

Boosterthon!!

Parents,

Our class is having a blast preparing for the Spann Elementary Fun Run coming up soon! Plus, we started learning how to “play with character” through the Fun Run’s character theme, Big World Recess. We’re traveling the world learning from REAL kid-athletes in other cultures.

Remember, as you connect to sponsors for the Fun Run, make sure all pledges are entered on funrun.com. The more pledges we get, the more incentives our class earns on our Pledge-O-Meter. Plus, for every $30 per lap our class pledges, a pair of shoes will be sent to a person in need in another country through the Great Shoe Takeoff giveback program. I know our students are excited to rise to the challenge!

As part of boosterthon we had to create a class team flag. Our team is called "Ms. Williamson's Minions" and are using a minion theme. Here is a picture of our class flag!

Thank you for your generosity and supporting our school. If you have any questions, please let me know.
