Bird Box Challenge in School

The Bird Box has officially infiltrated the schools.  

Students are walking around with bandannas blocking their eyes (similar to what they do in the movie).  

So congrats Netflix, you've made a movie that everyone is watching.  

Now bandannas will be blocked for a different reason (when I went to school they thought bandannas/certain colours were gang related)

This Week At School

It was a pretty easy first week back at school...

I was at a school that I hadn't been to in a couple of years and another school that I frequently go to but within that school a classroom that I've actually never been in.

At one of the schools the students were doing extra health classes and so 2 of my classes turned into these bonus health classes which meant I didn't have to teach for 2 extra periods that day.

Nothing too exciting or interesting to report on for this week.

It was a good first week back to work!

Presents from Santa

I overheard 2 boys talking about Santa in the grade 2 classroom I was in:

"Once my brother asked Santa for something and he brought him the wrong thing"

They were leaving the classroom as they were talking about it so I didn't get to hear the rest of what they were saying but I'm left with just one question...

What did he ask for?

Winter Writing

It feels like winter is just getting started where I live and we still have the rest of January and all of February to get through... but depending on where we all live winter could be winding down soon for some of us.  So, to go along with winter I found this great writing activity from Mel D-Seusstastic that is winter themed.  She has a coloured version and a black and white version... I would print the black and white version for my students and get them to colour it once they were done writing but I would use the coloured version for myself probably to fill in and share with the class what I like to do in the winter.

If you happen to use this freebie in your classroom why don't you leave us a comment to let us all know how it went?
