Gingerbread Houses!!

We got to decorate our Gingerbread Houses, and it was a lot of fun seeing all the great and creative ideas. Here are a few pictures of a few of the houses that were done.

Butterscotch

Poor Butterfingers passed away on Thanksgiving Break. We are very sad to see our cute class pet go, but luckily we got a new one.

She is a bit bigger, and makes cute squeaking noises. We voted on names, and we decided to name her Butterscotch.

She is lots of fun, and has bigger ears.

WELCOME TO OUR CLASS!!!

OFF TRACK!!!

While we were off track, I went to West Jordan High School to observe for my Master's Degree, I had a doctor appointment, and I also broke my toe. It was not fun!!!

What did you do???

Ms. Butchart

We have had a student teacher for the last 3 weeks, and she has taught us a lot of information. She was able to attend Biztown with us, and inform us about the Revolutionary War.

Here is a picture of our awesome student teacher.

70's Day

Today was our 70's Day, and there were many fun costumes.
