Well, I learned my lesson about sugar in the morning! Just kidding (kinda)!  The students have worked hard this week to read and write about our wormy experience with the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.  You can purchase the article here, if you are interested:
Exfoliation's loss is tequila's gain on Fulton farm
It costs $1.95 to download, but here's the gist: The billboard is an advertisement to a worm farm in Fulton.  The "humorous fabrication" states that the farm is in partnership with our school to provide worms for our lunches.  Needless to say, we are not eating worms, and we are not flattered that they are picking on us!  We wrote letters to the editor to say just that this week.  I am very proud of these formal letters our students produced.  We also have read How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell.  The students have listened and worked hard this week to complete story maps and comprehension checks each day.  SOOOOOO, to reward them, this morning I gave them some worms of their own to eat!  They were delicious!  Before you freak out, Mom, it was just pudding, oreos, and gummy worms!  I forgot to take pictures, but I am borrowing this picture so you get the general idea.

We also had firefighters come read to us this morning, which was awesome!  Thanks for all that they do to keep us safe.  They challenged all students to learn their address if they don't already know it in case of emergency.  They were great!  Thanks again! Txk, AR Fire Dept.

We did another Writing assignment outside today.  It was beautiful outside this morning (before it got so hot)!  I love to give the students a chance to explore!  They worked hard, too.

This afternoon we had Orchard Lab where the students focused on punctuation rules.  Then we had Science Lab, where the students are each making their own planes.  The Briscos do some incredible activities with our children.  We are so blessed to have them work with us.  I'll post pictures when we fly!!!!

A big shout out to our THREE students of the week.... Tyrease for our class, Keneshia for Mrs. Davis, and Eugene for Mrs. Skinner!  We have the best class ever!  No other class has three students of the week.

I plan to learn something new this weekend in Little Rock watching the Razorbacks win!  Where will you learn something new?
