The Lowe’s Fairy visited our class and left us some planting supplies this week! We planted our grass seeds during Fun Friday. I love using grass seeds because they grow so fast. Their little cups will have mini sprouts by Monday 🙂 I put a close up picture of each student on their cup and then the grass looks like their hair. In about a week, I will let them give their plant a “haircut” and send them home. 
My attendance has been atrocious all year long! This week, Tuesday was the only day all 20 students were in class. I took advantage and tested the hell out them whole group lol! This week, there was a legitimate reason for my crappy attendance. I had four students out on Wednesday and one student throw up in class and go home. Same thing on Thursday. I walked a student to the nurse holding a trash can as she threw up in the hallway. I had 9 out of 20 students parents message me saying their child had been throwing up. Some kind of nasty stomach bug found it’s way to our school (and directly into my classroom). The kids that did come to school spent the last few minutes of each day helping me sanitize our room! We wiped down everything with Lysol wipes and soapy water. Hopefully whatever everyone had has passed and they are all back next week!
Next week, we will be fitting in more science standards learning about plants and their life cycles. We will be recording our plant’s growth in our plant journals. Our caterpillars have formed their chrysalis and will literally be “hanging out” for about another week. Soon, we will have butterflies! Click the link below to see my plans for next week.
