What do you get when you take one room of wound up second graders...
...throw in a wonderful parapro (Mrs. Stine)...
...add one family game about adjectives and nouns...
...with a dash of giggles...
...and a bushel of teamwork?
You get Apples to Apples!!
The BUGS had a wonderful time playing Apples to Apples, Jr. today.
(I don't think they even realized we were practicing adjectives and nouns!)
Sorry you missed it?! Here's a glimpse of what happened...
There was a lively discussion about what was quieter, a snowball, a tomato or oatmeal? (the snowball was chosen by the group, but Raggedy Ann was the overall winner! The judge (Mrs. Koehn) had to then show pictures of Raggedy Ann for this too-young crowd to understand how quiet she was!)
In defense of popcorn being "brave", an explanation was given that it "does go in the microwave to be exploded!"
Cinderella was justifiably described as "fast" because "if she'd been going slowly, she wouldn't have lost her shoe!"
Someone's grandma (we won't name names) was described as "mean". (That's going to be an interesting Thanksgiving dinner!)
But I'm left wondering, should I be concerned that there was a rather involved discussion about how kittens are smooth?!?!
The BUGS have been working so hard the past few months so we took some time today to have some fun. Of course, we always sneak in some learning during our fun, too! Today we played Around the World, which is a fun way to practice math facts! While Darrin, Taya and Tanner might have made it all the way "around the world" (all the way to the prize box!), everyone was a winner today as we got faster with our addition facts!

The Early Elementary students were delighted to visit the LE this morning to see a performance of the "Aristocats!" It was an amazing production!
We loved all the songs, dancing and the funny story!
We even saw some former BUGS!!
(Some were disguised as ducklings!)
We are so grateful for Ms. Goodenough and Ms. Jane, who put in long hours and lots of work to make this production possible! It's obvious how much the performers enjoyed the opportunity and our students at the EE are excited about having more opportunities to see such amazing performances! Thanks to you both for an amazing show!
