Math Measuring Fun

In math today we worked with a partner and measured items using linking cubes.
Some of the kids even measured Bryce. He was 59 linking cubes tall!

The children had to work together in a kind way and solve their own problems.


Everyone did well and they seemed to enjoy the activity.

When I Was a Baby



We've been reading An Egg is an Egg this week. It tells how everything changes. In class we've been discussing how we have changed.


Layne says when she was a baby she couldn't walk and now she can. Lance said he couldn't swim when he was a baby, but now he can. Scotty said he sucked his thumb when he was a baby, but he doesn't now.


This video is a picture of my baby. He just learned to walk last weekend! They grow up so fast and learn new things everyday.

Show and Tell

Show and Tell day is always very informative. The kids show and tell pretty much anything. Destiny showed her horse named, "Mrs. Ward". Do we look alike? Never mind, don't answer that!
Jason showed a snakeskin that he found at his house. Of course the kids LOVED that! Gross!


Rylee and Layne showed off their attitude in a dance.

Patricia showed a turtle shell that some of the kids were brave enough to hold!

Everyone was interested in Drew's chainsaw. It was loud!


Myla brought bath supplies to show.



Marcus is excited about going deer hunting this weekend. He showed the class some of the supplies he takes with him.


Sierra told me she had a puppy in her backpack. I asked her if it was real and she said, "Seriously Mrs. Ward?"
I have had a second-grader catch a stray cat at the bus stop one year and bring it in her backpack, so it's not out of the question!


Alli brought a cute bear.


Brandon brought a bat signed by "The Power Team" that he saw at church. It sounded really interesting!

Lance told us that he has done 300 push-ups before. I asked him to prove it, but after 2 he said his legs were sore from wrestling.

However this prompted the rest of the class to show me their push-ups!

Cheerleaders Are State Bound

Jessica and Katie came to our class to read to us today. They read "If You Give a Moose a Muffin". The kids enjoyed the story.

They also asked them questions like, "Are you nervous to go up in the air", "How do you do a flip", "Have you ever fallen", "Can you break dance", and "Do you have any kids". Interesting questions!



They signed autograph books and were asked by a couple of boys if they had boyfriends. Then some of the kids asked them for their phone numbers.


I had Katie in third grade. I found some pictures that I shared with her and the class from her third grade year. She was a cutie then too!Bryce goes up in a stunt! Maybe he can be their alternate!

Our own cadet teacher, Stevie, is also on the squad. We really want them to win State for the third year in a row!!

Thank You Veterans



The kindergartners made this adorable flag to thank our veterans. Mrs. Trone's husband is a veteran. We are thankful for him.


Ward's Warriors would like to say thank you to all veterans.

The hardest part about being a veteran is worrying about being killed.--Rylee

Brandon says his great grandaddy was in the navy and he got his leg burned off.

It would be scary when they yell, "Take Cover!".--Scotty

It would be hard to protect our country. --Eli

We are so thankful to have veterans so we can have freedom.--Alli

Thank you for saving our country. --Drew

Halloween Party

The Halloween Party last Friday was a lot of fun. Thank you to Mary and the other parents who helped make the party a success!










Our cadet teacher Skyler brought us more treats! He is too sweet to us!


This is my rockstar Zoe and my cranky monkey Cole. We had a fun Halloween too!
