Final Balloon: Treasure Hunt!

Our final balloon activity sent us on a treasure hunt with clues around the school.  These clues lead us to the library where we found our treasure: a new book!  There's no greater treasure than a new book!  The book was "Dragons Love Tacos 2."  We read both books today, and the students voted on their favorite.  Majority said that the sequel was their favorite!

Balloon #5: Lunch and Dance Party in the Classroom

Balloon number 5 was lunch and a dance party in the classroom.  I think more dancing than eating goes on during this lunch break!

We also celebrated the end of the year by visiting the slushy stand!

Balloon #4: Daily 5 Outside!

This is one of my favorite balloons.  I love taking the students outside to read and write around the ponds.  It's so calm and peaceful, and what a beautiful afternoon it was for a round of Daily 5 outside!

Balloon #3: Bumper Seats for the Whole Class!

It's always a treat to be able to pick your own spot in the classroom for the day!

Balloon #2 + Ag Day!

Balloon number 2 was share a story and a treat with kindergarten.  It's so nice for the 2nd graders to have the chance to spend time with those students we see across the hall every day!  We also got to visit Ag Day on Tuesday.  Fortunately, the rain cleared up just in time for us to see the animals.

Balloon Countdown! Balloon #1

We started our end of the year balloon countdown today.  We will be counting down our final days of school by popping a balloon and doing the fun activity that we find in that balloon within the day.  Our first balloon activity was to write a letter to a senior.  This morning we wrote our letters and hand delivered them.  We want to congratulate the seniors and wish them well!
