Crazy Day

We recently had a "Crazy Day" at school. I am pretty sure every day is crazy day in an elementary school, but this time the students' clothes and hair matched their actions. I had one student who came to school with his shirt tucked in, belt on, and pants on backwards. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I am not sure how this student managed to move around comfortably, but he rocked it the whole day.

We just finished our Fifty States unit in class. Throughout the unit, each student did research on one state, created a flip book of things learned, and made a triorama displaying one of that state's landmarks. Because most of my students are not from the US, this is quite the interesting project. Their final products turned out well, so of course now I would like to show them off to you. 

We also talked about US government during this unit, and discussed in length the Preamble to the Constitution. We drew pictures and acted out each phrase to help us understand it more.

My favorite part is Captain America providing for the common defense

Other thrilling news:

My baby sister is coming to visit me in a week and one day! Prepare yourselves in advance for an abundance of facebook posts and ridiculous blog stories. Sarah is quite the character and is known for wandering around and talking to strangers. I worry about losing Sarah in Walmart, so I think I might have to get a leash to hold on to her here. Sarah, if you are reading this, please DO NOT get lost in Nicaragua. Unless you plan on moving here and hanging out with me all the time. If that is the case, wander all you please.
