The Art Show

We went to the Art Show this week to see all the wonderful art work that has been created by our Pendleton students. Every year it just gets better and better. We had fun looking for all our friends work and getting new ideas.

Catching Up

Last week we took our paper pencil mad minute to compare our speed on our simple math facts.

We have worked hard all year to master these math problems and it payed off for us.

Everyone has doubled or almost doubled their number of problems that they can do in 3 minutes.
We are also authoring our own books. Here KB and MM are writing their stories.

They took pictures with the camera to illustrate their stories. Then they write out the story. Then they get to move the pictures onto the computer and record their voice on each page. When they are all finished, we send the flipchart story to our Pen Pals and friends here at McKay. They are turning out really neat.

Egg Hunt

Last week we colored eggs and hid them.

It was fun to see everyone working together to find them. We could only pick up an egg if it had our name on it. If it wasn't your egg, then we had to stay quiet about it unless someone asked for help.

Sometimes it was a stretch to reach them.

" Yeah! I found my egg!"

Those of us that have a height advantage were called over to lend a helping hand.I love seeing happy children.

Once we found all of our eggs we headed inside to eat them.

We had a great time and got some writing inspiration from our fun filled day.
