We Love Sparky the Fire Dog...and the Free App!

As we all know, Fire Prevention Month is in October. We had so much fun learning about Fire Prevention today. We started today's lesson by listening to Sparky's Birthday Surprise on the iPad.

 

Did I mention the app is FREE? Yes...FREE. Also, it comes with a story, music video, games, and much more! It is worth checking out. It had my students engaged the entire time. After the story and a few games on the iPad with Sparky, we started on our Fire Prevention worksheets. Made by Clever Classroom, these worksheets were adorable. Grab them up here.

Last, we even had a special guest today, a firefighter. My boyfriend is a firefighter so he came out and helped me today with my lesson. The kiddos were able to try on his gear and ask him questions about firefighting. They loved it! He even bought them goodies, hats and coloring books. Check out these awesome pictures! We had too much fun today!

We are truly fired up about learning!

What a day!

AR Party Time! We All Made Our Goal!

The deadline to make your Accelerated Reader goal for the 1st 9 weeks was at beginning of October. The class read their hearts out every opportunity they were given to reach their goal.

I was thrilled when deadline came and found out my ENTIRE class made their goal! YAY! We were all excited to go the Tie Dye Party. Each student got to make their own Tie Dye shirt. With different colors and patterns, they turned out really cute. Several people came out to volunteer including our awesome soldiers.

We are already reading our hearts out for the next AR party. 

I'm so proud of my kiddos!
