The D'nealian Fairy
Today while adding two new words to our word wall word books the students were told to be very careful with their handwriting. I told them to imagine that the D'nealian fairy was sitting on their shoulder watching their handwriting. After working queietly for a few moments Jane raised her hand and said "Mrs. Ziegler, I don't think the D'nealian fairy is real". I said "of course she is Jane, don't you see her on your shoulder?" So Jane looked curiously at her shoulder and then reached up and slapped it with her hand and said "Well, if she is real, she's squashed now!"
I thought you would all enjoy this story!:)

Three day update
Today is Wednesday and it is the first chance we have had to blog all week! Due to all the snow days last week; we have been so busy playing catch up that we just haven't had time to squeeze the blog in. However, we are very happy to say that today makes our third consecutive day of school with no HUGE interruptions (we are not counting the two hour delay this morning). So this is what we have been doing this week:
We played four corners for a short recess today. (Murphy)
We made cards for our book buddies. (Keaira)
We did math on Monday with heart shaped candies. (Jordan)
We learned about clocks that tell the time. (George)
