Being Silly

So cute-Riley "Shhhh"ing the baby to sleep

Today was Spirit Day and the entire class dressed in their favorite team colors.  Those dressed in Bama gear was in the majority, but Bishop looked awfully cute in his Auburn jersey.  Go SEC!

We continued on with our unit on senses.  Next week we'll take a break since it's a short week (Labor Day and I'll be out Tuesday for my husbands 40th birthday!!!!) and talk about homes.  The following week we'll finish up on senses (smell, hearing, and tasting). 

One funny I wanted to share-the book, "My Five Senses" by Aliki is the one I've read every day this week.  It's a big book and it's great for word recognition.  The kids are helping each other to find the sight words in it: "I" and "is."  One part of the book talks about how we use more than one sense at times but also how many times, we only use one sense.  Like when we looking at the moon.

So I asked the class if they could see the moon.  Of course, they all said yes.  I asked if they could taste the moon, feel the moon, hear the moon.  The answers were of course, "no."  I asked if they could smell the moon.  I heard a LOT of "no"s, but one "yes" (from Roxanna).  I asked her if she really smell the moon.  She said replied, "Yes!"  When I asked her what it smelled like, she said, "barbeque."  We just stopped right then and had a good laugh.
