I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream

We do so many special things everyday ... and I am always forgetting to have my camera ready! Today we made ice cream as part of our science unit, "Heat and Change." A lot of students got very cold hands handling the ice that froze the cream and made it into delicious dessert. We also had a special story teller come today that had many children up and dancing. Our class is "OUT OF CONTROL" wonderful with their AR reading quizzes. They ended the week at 92% proficient and read 255 books in one week! That keeps me popping a lot of popcorn because everyone who reached their weekly goal gets popcorn, and if they double it, they get a bottle of water to go with it! Last week 18 students made their goal and this week, 17 students made goal. The students are working hard to raise their reading level and increase their vocabulary. Working with them and feeling their energy is exhilarating!
