Before maternity leave one of my old students named my baby Eucalyptus Plant to be silly and all my students would call her that. What a cute surprise that on my first day back she brought me Eucalyptus!! So sweet and thoughtful. #itsworthit @wcsdistrict @BluffsviewElem

We learned so much about living things through observing crickets this week. Unfortunately only our girl cricket Reesie made it all week. Today we released her and the kids had the idea of singing their goodbye song from music to her. #itsworthit @wcsdistrict @BluffsviewElem

This week we read Knuffle Bunny, Knuffle Bunny Too and an article on bunnies to help us practice authors purpose, summarizing, vocabulary and comparing and contrasting. What better way to end our week then bringing a bunny to class! @wcsdistrict @BluffsviewElem #itsworthit

@bluffsviewmusic @wcsdistrict @BluffsviewElem That would be great! @ms_immel came up with this lesson and the kids love it every year. They get so into being the chefs.

Today we pretended we were in Italy making pizzas to practice fractions. We had to build our pizzas based on the order we received. Some toppings were on the whole pizza, some on 1/2 and some 1/4 of the pizza. #itsworthit @wcsdistrict @BluffsviewElem
