School Starts Tuesday

Yippee,
    I can't wait for school to start.  I am very excited to see all my new students again.  I met most of you on the last day of school in June.  Our classroom is all ready for us to start.  I can't wait to read you my favorite first day of school books.  I've picked out my outfit so I can look spiffy.  What will you be wearing that first day? 

     Did you get some school supplies?  Here's what you need:  1 red folder, 1 green folder, 1 small glue stick, 1 regular sized pencil box, 8 classic colored markers, pack of crayons and 2 pencils.  No erasers, no pencil sharpeners, no liquid glue, no colored pencils, no notebooks.  Just the basics.  Keep all the extras at home to use for your homework throughout the year.

Check out all of my questions on the left of this page.  Everyone please vote!  It's fun!

      I am looking forward to seeing on Tuesday morning.  Don't forget to go to the art room on our first day when you get to school.  Remember that our classroom is right beside the kindergarten rooms.  I be looking for your smiling face at 8:00 am.  Don't be late!

Sincerely, Mrs. Dietsche

P.S.  Leave me a comment.

Terrific Tuesday

Wow! What a day! We had fun playing games out on the playground. We stacked sand buckets and delivered pizza. We flipped chickens into a fry pan (frizbees). It was a blast! We learned all about Windbags and the Bronnooli effect. Check out windbags and Steve Spangler online. Shaggy's Pizza was yummy along with PB&J sandwiches and brownies was a treat. Mrs. Caswell came in to help out and she forgot her coat and lunch box. They are hanging in our classroom for her to come get. Tell me about our day.
Love, Mrs. Dietsche

9 Days Left

Wow! What a week! The Tyler Place was fantastic! It was a beautiful day with our parents. Our class looked great in our new tee-shirts. We had a boat ride. It was a cruise really. We hiked through the woods, rode on the zipline, climbed a two story tree house, played on a pirate ship and swam in a big warm pool with a great slide. We danced, ate popsicles, and got sprayed with water by the teachers. It was a ball. Everyone wanted to do it again the next day.
Well we had a another beautiful weekend with parades and pow wows! Please tell me how your weekend was. Where did you go? What did you eat? Who did you see? What happened at the parade? What happened at the Pow Wow? Did you do anything special?
We have 9 days of school left. Next Tuesday we will have a special day! We will have Shaggy's Pizza and PB & J. We have some special activities and Mrs. Caswell will be in for her last visit.

It's Monday again

Good Morning,
It's a beautiful day here in Highgate. We are reading up a storm. We were able to take four books from the room this morning and read. We just love that in our class. Ms. Laderman our music teacher looked like sunshine today. Her class is very fun. We had a presentation about the summer program at the Highgate Library. Wow, there will be lots of fun things to do this summer!
We also wrote in our journals about what we did on our weekend. I am impressed with all the activities our class does over the weekend.
Tomorrow is our big end of the year field trip to the Tyler Place. The tee-shirts are all finished and ready to wear. We weather is forecast to be fantastic. Bring the sun block. No reading homework tonight. Use the checklist to get your bag ready for the trip.
See you all there.
Mrs. Dietsche

Monday Monday

It is a beautiful day today. I hope this weather lasts. We have finished making our African Bracelet kits last week. Tomorrow we will deliver them to all classes. We hope every one loves their new bracelets. Friday is our African Share Day and we are making a photostory about Beatrice, the goats, and our fundraising bracelet kits. I hope it's finished in time.
Tell me what you think about our big African Project.

Friday

On Wednesday our class saw a terrific violinist. She was from the VSO. We learn a lot about music from her. What did you learn about the violinist? My class is the smartest class in our school!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dietsche

Sensible Students

Good Day my "Sensible" friends,
We have been studying about our five senses. Today I would like you to tell me 5 things. Please name 5 things that you experienced in school today that match the 5 senses.
Here's my list:
1. seeing : a school bus zooming by
2. tasting: yummy salad
3. smelling: shampoo on a friend
4. hearing: scissors cutting paper
5. touching: wet paper towel after washing up
Now you make a list. Then go to the senses website to work on your research and fill in your paper. Good Luck!
Mrs. Dietsche
