Assembly, Pictures, Walk-A-Thon, oh my!

Today was a long and action-packed day!

We started promptly at 8:15 with our Citizenship Assembly. One student from each class was recognized for displaying outstanding citizenship in the classroom. From the assembly we headed back to class with just enough time to line up in alphabetical order for Picture Day! We practiced our smiles, and headed to get our photographs taken. We finally were able to finish our morning routine (calendar, weather, read aloud, movement) and distribute Walk-A-Thon t-shirts just in time to head to recess. (phew, I'm still exhausted, just thinking about it)

After recess we did large apple chart, drawing and labeling the parts of an apple. Next week, students will create their own personal version of these Apple Parts and labeling them. (core, seeds, stem, leaf, meat, skin)

We also used the apples that have been brought in by students to work on a math sorting activities, sorting them into groups: yellow, green, and red. Following this, we had Friday Funday.

After lunch we had a short time to rest, did another read aloud, and "Going on a Bear Hunt" while waiting to meet up with our buddies. Our 4th grade buddies came to meet up with us and we completed a couple laps together at the Walk-A-Thon before heading home for the day.

Some people stayed afterschool to do a few more laps at the Walk-A-Thon, enjoy the Family Dinner, and participate in the Silent Auction. A good time was had by all!
