The Eggs...

...have hatched!

We had two right off the bat!  The first one came at 8:45 am and the second at 9:15!

When will this one hatch??

The first one out coming to take a peek to see what is happening!

PUSH!

Almost there...

Finally...

This one arrived at 11:30...

...and so tired!

We had one more hatch during bus duty and that made 4!

Last night we had 3 hatch!  

I don't have a picture of our math journal entry for today--sorry!  Maybe tomorrow.

We drew a picture of the chicks in the incubator and the chicks in the box and wrote an incredible equation.  

3 + 4 = 7

That's right--we have 7 chicks ready to go to a farm...

any takers???

Book Publishing

I had three students finish their books so they could be published during Spring break.  Hailey was the first to finish her book and have it published.  I have searched many sites on the internet and Lulu.com is the most affordable site that I could find.  They do take a small profit from publishing, so I have kept the price as low as I could.  I have learned a lot while trying to publish this book and hopefully the others will go a lot smoother!  Not too bad for the first time I don't think.  As books are loaded, you can click on the icon to the right and view and purchase (if you would like).  I think this will also encourage others to get their books print ready.  It will be easy for a student to get their work published the first time because I do not have many guidelines.  As time goes on, more expectations will be set.  This will also encourage growth in their writing!  I am so proud of their writing!

Dr. Seuss Day 2012

We have had so much fun over the past two day!

Thing Shirts

Here they are...

We will change into them in the morning.

Thing shirts

I am still working on the thing shirts.  They have been dyed and look amazing.  I will be ironing on the decals tonight and I will post a pic tonight when the first one is complete.  I am tutoring until 5:30, so I will post a picture around 8 or 9.  Your child can wear it over a shirt tomorrow or change in the bathroom.  The shirts will go home with them.
