WTH Wednesday

What is Squirrels doing? It's not Wednesday!
She must need to check her calendar!!

It has been a week of WTHs- trust me!
So much going on and so little time to tell you all about it.

First off-
What The Heck is going on in the hallway?
There are monkeys everywhere!!!!

And my firsties couldn't be happier:)
We had a great time getting ready for Valentine's Day with Stephanie's Bananas About You Pack !



We used her adorable monkeys to help us get some feeling into our writing.
What are you excited about?
What are you crazy about?
WHAT ARE YOU BANANAS ABOUT???

This monkey is bananas about eating your face apparently. Scary.

This monkey looks "schmarmy"...He could sell you a monkey car.

This monkey is the envy of the monkey ball!

She is bananas about her iPhone.
(WTH?? I teach first. They are 6. I got an iPhone at 39.)

What a beautiful monkey!!

I assigned the graphic organizer that was with this pack as homework one night.
You know parents are like
"WTH??? Miss Squirrels wants us to  talk about being "bananas"!!"
Their responses were terrific! I have always assigned writing projects in the class because I wanted their work to be their own- but I think it was a good thing to let the parents and families help them look at things from a different perspective!

They still did the writing in class- but they had several choices to choose from because they had gone over them with their families at home. I have to admit. lightening that load a bit was nice.
I will have to remember that for the next time!

I don't want to overload you with all we did this week- so I will post more tomorrow:)
Enjoy your Friday night!
