Our final balloon was maybe the best one of all! The class made a trip down to Another Time Ice Cream Parlor to enjoy an ice cream treat. The owners were so gracious to treat all of the students to an ice cream treat! A huge thank you to Another Time Ice Cream Parlor! The kids loved it, and it was a wonderful way to cool down on a very warm Friday!
For balloon number 7, we went to the new bunny trail for a nature walk. It was a beautiful little hike on this hot day!
The students were pretty excited to pop balloon number 6 and learn that they could chew gum in school for the day. Each student was given a small bag with 4 pieces of gum for the entire day. The students could choose when to chew it or save it for later.
Today we popped the balloon for a dance party during snack time. The students showed off plenty of moves and had a great time!
The students were excited to hear that our day would end with a treasure hunt! My son, Mason, joined us to read aloud the clues at each location. Our treasure hunt ended in Mr. Semmen's office. We brought the treasure back to our room and unwrapped the new book "Grumpy Monkey Up All Night" along with some freshly baked cookies. What a great way to end a Friday!
Bumper seats in the classroom has always been a student favorite. Due to Covid this year, we haven't been able to sit by a partner or in small groups with our desks. For bumper seats, the students were able to pick out one friend to sit next to for the day. They loved it!
It's always fun when you get to write with something other than a pencil on your assignments! Balloon number 2 was marker day. The students could choose to write with a marker, crayon, or colored pencil all day long!
This week we began our balloon countdown to the last day of school! The first balloon we popped was to write a letter to a senior to congratulate them and wish them well. We delivered our letters on Wednesday, and it was so nice of the seniors to write us back. Congratulations seniors!!
