Gwinnett Braves Game a BIG Hit!

Today was one of the BEST trips Mrs. Welch has ever had the pleasure to be on!!!  Our students were excellent examples of fine, young children at Oakwood Elementary.

We began our journey singing the National Anthem. 

As we were leaving the field one of the Braves players gave Arturo a baseball!!!

We then went to our seats and watched some of the game.  Students were entertained with the games, chants, songs, and movie clips shared throughout the innings.

After we watched the game, we decided we needed to eat and get in the shade.  But as we were leaving,Chipper came into our section.  He was doing a variety of beats on a drum.  We echoed him with clapping our hands.  Before we went to lunch we got a high five from him!

After eating lunch, we checked out the vendors stands!  We discussed how their billboards and flyers were persuasive.  We also talked about how their attractive pictures and colors made us get interested in what they had to offer.  We got free pencils, coloring pages, and LOTS of coupons for things like Kraft cheese!  HOW NEAT!

One booth had animal furs and skulls for us to look at and explore.  We REALLY asked this vendor a lot of questions. :)

We spent our last few minutes watching a tied game.  We then ventured back home.

What an awesome day we had!  Thank you parents for allowing us this amazing, fun-filled experience!

Communities

As part of the Leader in Me, our classroom is part of a community with Mrs. White's class, Mrs. McCarty's class, and Mrs. McDaniel's class.  Today we all met together and played games to get to know each other.  It was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Joseph!

We want to thank Joseph and his family for sharing his birthday with us.  Their family shared yummy cupcakes with us to celebrate his eighth birthday!  Happy birthday, Joseph!

Technology is Amazing!

Mrs. Welch was out sick today (bronchitis), but she was able to record her lessons and our substitute played them for us. 

Mrs. Welch loved knowing that our students were able to still get the awesome lesson in the exact way that they were use to and were even able to hear her voice!

What a neat way to use our technology!

Thanks to Mrs. Benson for stepping in and helping Mrs. Welch in her absence.
