Okay, so there is a LOT of fun stuff I have to share with you all! To begin with, Hiedi Robinson was nice enough to give us a lot of pictures from Fall 2007. These pictures include the Pow Wow, 1st 9 weeks awards ceremony, and fall fun. I uploaded all of these pictures into a photobucket account, where you can view them by album. (Pictures from the 100th Day are also posted here!) After clicking on the link, you will find the albums on the left hand side.

If you see any you like, you can save them and print them out, or even order prints directly from the web site. Enjoy!
Moving along, I'm sure most of you have heard that the class has begun an Eric Carle unit. We have been doing a lot of fun things in readers and writers workshop, so I hope your children are filling you in on some of the books we've read so far! Here is the link to his official page where you can check out creative activities, view photos of him, and watch videos showing how he creates his pictures.

In math, we've been going over 2D and 3D shapes. Students used pattern blocks to create 2D designs, and let me just say that your children are VERY creative!! Below is a slide show where you can view some of their creations.
Keep checking back for the latest in the Mackarado classroom! Thanks!!

Hello all! This is Ms. Sanchez, and I will be responsible for updating the blog and keeping you all posted on the latest happenings in the Mackarado classroom. To begin with, I would like to say that I am so happy to have met some of you and all of your children! They are all so sweet and it has been a pleasure getting to know them.
During the month of January, the school was able to celebrate Chets Creeks 10th birthday. The children participated in many activities such as a ride on the magic school bus and a birthday party accompanied with dancing and cupcakes. Below is a video showing the children dancing during the birthday party (right after the teachers had to do the hokey pokey on stage!)
