Scavenger Hunt for Congruent Shapes

Today in math we learned about congruent shapes.  If something is congruent, they are the same size AND same shape.  At the end of our lesson (in 5 minutes), look how we could show what congruent means.  Can you find any congruent shapes at home?

Congratulations, Mr. Wilson! Admin of the Year~

It is with such great pleasure to share with everyone that our very own Mr. Wilson was chosen as "Admin of the Year" for the Hermiston School District.  This is very special for me personally, because Mr. Wilson was my first principal in 2004 as a 2nd Grade teacher.  He hired me right out of college to work for him in Boardman.   After he left Sam Boardman Elementary School as their principal in 2007 to lead the Raccoons, I knew I would work for him again one day.  Only a year after he left Boardman, a position opened up at Rocky Heights. Thankfully, Mr. Wilson hired me a second time.  He is a wonderful leader who works hard to make everyone happy and successful.  So Mr. Wilson, CONGRATULATIONS to a title so well deserved.

~Celebrating Christmas, One Smile at a Time~

What an amazing day we had! The whole day was a celebration talking about traditions, turning ourselves into dancing elves, sitting around the Christmas tree, decorating Christmas cookies with our Kindergarten buddies, and growing a Santa beard.  A day well spent. Click here to watch an iTrailer of our Christmas Party!

Welcome Back and Under Construction!

Welcome back to school, Room 4.  As you can see, our blog looks a lot different from before.  I am working on fixing it up, but keep visiting to read, watch videos, and see all of the amazing projects our class is doing.

I can't believe it is the year 2014!  A new year means we get many more days to be GREAT.  I am really looking forward to the time we have together and the amazing learning adventures that are coming.  Get ready to learn about American Heroes, animals and their habitats, and cursive writing.
