Boosterthon Day 3!!

I am SO excited to share that we sold the most pledges in the school on Thursday night... and we are currently in FIRST PLACE!! Great job everyone! Keep 'em coming! Don't forget to enter your pledges online each night.

 

Choice Challenge Day 3: I Choose Learning!

 

 

Each morning, Scott comes in to talk with us about our choice challenge for the day. He calls up each student who has earned pledges the night before and we say a few nice things about them!

Since our class brought in the most pledges on Thursday night, we got to have lunch with the Boosterthon leaders on Friday!!

 

 

 

 

 

Boosterthon Day 2!

Wow... we had an AWESOME second night of pledging... Great job everyone!

 

Look at our Pledge-o-Meter! As a class we jumped from $20 a lap to $66 a lap in just one night!

 

 

We earned a new pencil, free time, NO REST TIME, and a picnic lunch!!!!

Today's choice challenge: I choose character!

Boosterthon!!

 

Boosterthon is in full action this week!

We are ON THE ROAD TO GOOD CHOICES with this year's Boosterthon! For two weeks we will focus on LEADERSHIP * CHARACTER * LEARNING * FITNESS * A GOOD ATTITUDE.

 

We are LOVING our team leaders Scott and Julie! Each day they come and talk to us for a few minutes.

 

Today's Choice Challenge: I Choose Leadership!

We already had a few friends who collected pledges last night!! Look at those awesome prizes. Way to go!!

This is our class incentive chart. We've already reached $20/ lap as a class... so today we earned 5 extra recess minutes and a round of freeze dance this afternoon! They want that crazy hair day SO bad, so start collecting those pledges!

 

As a class, if we earn the most pledges tonight, we get to have recess with Scott and Julie tomorrow!!!!

 

Friday we can wear our Boosterthon shirts and PE shorts!

Literacy Stations

We began literacy stations as a whole class this week. I've introduced each station slowly, and now we are working with our partners and rotating to two stations each day. Literacy staions are a lot like math stations in the sense that I can pull small groups while students work independently or with a partner on previously taught concepts.

ABC Station

Writing Station

Pocket Chart Station

Library

Our new iPad station! So exciting!!
