Ringo and the new book

2008-03-19T16:59:00.001-07:00

Ringo and Mrs. DeCarlo went on an adventure after school today. We went to a nearby book store to buy a new book for our classroom library. Ringo was very good in the book store. We browsed around the store and read a few books. Ringo liked the book Silly Sally by Audrey Wood. Ringo thought the pictures were funny. We bought the book and sat outside the store before returning home to eat dinner. WOW! What a great adventure....Do you know what the word browse means?
Enjoy-Mrs. D.

On Friday, Mrs. Stubblefield took Ringo to the dentist. This was Ringo's very first visit and he was a little scared...Mrs. Stubblefield helped Ringo sign-in and then Ringo waited in the waiting room with the other patients.

Ringo is sitting in the chair. The chair moves UP and DOWN! Fun!

Ringo is getting his teeth inspected....They look pretty good....

Ringo is getting x-rays taken of his teeth. Ringo had to sit very still for the picture. He was so brave.

Because Ringo was so good at the dentist, he was able to pick a prize from the treasure chest!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

2007-10-24T16:34:00.001-07:00

We had a GREAT time at the Pumpkin Patch! Even though it was a little wet and rainy, we enjoyed all of the fun activities! The students were able to mine for "gems" at the Pumpkin Patch. Each student placed their pan into the water and rocked it back and forth until all of the sand was gone. Whatever was left inside....the student was able to keep! The students were all very excited about this and later told me that they put their new gemstones inside their "Collection Boxes". We also wrote about this activity during our Writer's Workshop. We are learning about "Small Moments"...

WOW! Lots of pumpkins...

The pumpkin vines are curly....

The students were able to select one small pumpkin to take home.

The students were also able to feed farm animals at the Pumpkin Patch.

I see two cute pigs. Oink! Oink!

I see one red rooster.

The students also saw a tree house on our nature walk through the forest.

The students saw a tee pee but the chief was not there. He left the students a message and a surprise.

The students also made a scarecrow. They named him "Jimmy"...

Bye! Bye! Jimmy....see you next year!

Ringo and the Spider

2007-10-14T12:07:00.001-07:00

We had a great weekend with Ringo. Sunday, Daniel and Ringo went outside to dig in the yard when suddenly.....Daniel and Ringo found a BIG......

SPIDER! Yikes! We quickly did an internet search and discovered that:"The Black and Yellow Garden Spider, also known as the American Garden Spider or Writer Spider is a species of Orb-web spider common to the lower 48 of the United States, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. The Garden Spiders have distinctive yellow and black markings on them and are considered harmless to humans."

Daniel and Ringo named the spider Charlotte and have spent the rest of the day watching her spin a web. See you on Monday!

On Saturday, Ringo and Mrs. D. visited Vonda's Hair Studio and Ringo received his first hair cut. Ringo sat very still in the chair. He was a little scared but he was very good. Doesn't he look terrific! When have you been to see a hair stylist? That would be a good topic for you to write about during Writer's Workshop...

Sunday, Ringo, Mrs. D. and Mrs. O'Neil went out to eat at Olive Garden. We ate so much food! We had a great time. Ringo ordered off of the Children's Menu. What is your favorite restaurant to dine at? What do you like to eat at your favorite restaurant? Hmmmm.......maybe you could write about your favorite restaurant during Writer's Workshop.

This animal was soooooooooooooooooooooooo silly!

Inside the jar is a tarantula! Very cute and very hairy!

Mr. Chad said that he could get out of this jacket in exactly two minutes......We all counted down during the last ten seconds 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1......Yeah! Mr. Chad did it! It was amazing!

Mr. Chad emphasized the importance of books to all of the students. He showed the students his favorite book. What is your favorite book? I enjoy reading Where the Wild Things Are...

Ringo's Weekend

2007-08-26T12:45:00.001-07:00

Hello Superstars,

Mrs. DeCarlo and Ringo had a FABULOUS weekend. We went to the mall and ate at the Cheese Cake Factory. The food was delicious. Everybody at the restaurant just loved Ringo. On Sunday, Ringo invited some of his friends over for a playdate. Ringo decided to wear his striped collar instead of his blue collar since this was a special occasion. Ringo and his friends played with the "cars" (from the movie) and also watched the movie Cars. They had a great time.
Ringo is looking forward to going home with his new friends this week!

I hope all of you had a great weekend.

Mrs. DeCarlo
