I'm lovin' it!

As they say in the McDonald's commercials, I'm lovin' it! That is also what my 6th graders say when I am trying to get their attention. I start by saying, "Ba da ba ba ba" and they respond with, "I'm lovin' it!" It works great and the kids enjoy saying it. 

I have absolutely loved how our reader's notebooks are working for us in my classroom. We have been doing some things with The Polar Express in them the past few days. I was hoping my 6th graders would love using foldables in class, and I am so glad they do. Sometimes I do not even think they realize how much they are actually learning when we use them. Here are a few things we have done in them the past few days. 

Sorry about the shadows. 

Tonight I also ventured off to a Scholastic Warehouse sale that was in San Antonio which about an hour from me. That might have been a mistake because I spent way too much money, but I got so much stuff! Pretty much everything was half off. I am planning on taking a picture of it all tomorrow sometime to show you all. If there is ever one around you I highly suggest that you go! 

I also finally got a kidney table for my classroom today. I have had a round table, but the kids like to sit at it and I was really wanting something to meet with small groups at. I am also getting rid of my desk to make room for it. Hopefully this will all happen sometime this week. :)

I am also loving that I have been playing Christmas in my classroom these past few days. I am so grateful to work in a district where that is not an issue. I actually just downloaded the new Biebs Christmas CD. My kids better be excited about it!!!
