Invention Convention

On Thursday this week in the block, we had our Invention Convention day. We all had so much fun. We all laughed and laughed.

Invention Convention is when we are all required to make something with a partner that you can make with a 2 liter pop bottle or bottles. There were so many different projects.

We had blush blowers, feet protectors for wearing shoes, glow in the dark bowling, bubble blowers, purses, and many others. Hopefully there will be some pictures posted of this day.

It was a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Daniel

Today is Daniel's birthday and we sang to him in the block today, we even made him get up in front of the class.
Happy Birthday Daniel from all of us, we hope you have a great birthday. We are glad that you in our class, it makes it a little more interesting with at least one guy in the class.

Have a great DAY!!!

Stress Reliever!

I wanted to mention Maggie Moo's Ice cream shop that opened about a week ago. It is a lot like coldstone, but better. I love it! So if your ever stressed out or just feel like icecream I recommend trying it out if you haven't already! =)

Another crazy day

Yesterday we had another crazy day in the block. In Social Studies we all shared our favorite book and a little about it. We also received many other fun ideas to do with students in Social Studies when we teach.

In the afternoon, we had Science and it was a very crazy day. We had some of our groups teach lesson plans on Science. One group had us make thermometers(not real), they were used to help us get the idea of how to tell the temperature. We also actually measured the temperature of water in groups. It was fun.
In different group, we made Oobleck. It was a blast. All of us really enjoyed playing in it and making a mess. I am sure any student in elementary school would love to do this. We will all have to remember this idea and get the recipe to add to our files.
The last Science group had us make our own toothpaste. It was very interesting. I think we all learned a little more about toothpaste and what it takes to make it clean our teeth. It was very fun but some of the toothpaste definitely had something to be desired. It was fun to invent our own kind and our own flavor. I hope we have a few pictures because there was definitely some awful looking faces after trying the toothpaste.

What a fun and interesting day. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and your new practicum assignment.

Thank You!!!

Thank you for the basket of baby stuff that you guys gave to Baby Rocklond. Everything is so cute, and it meant a lot that you guys would do something like that for me. this is a picture of Rocklond who is now a month old. He is wearing one of the outfits that you gave to him.
