Mrs. Richeson's Classroom

Sonic has changed the way you vote for projects this year. Last year you had to get a code off of a drink and enter that to cast a vote. This year they are allowing one vote per day per email address. So, please remember to go to this site to vote for our class every day! Once you go to the site, you will need to find our class. First, select the search by location option. Select Texas and then White Oak. Then you will find our project which is called, “iTouch…iLearn!” Please spread the word to all your friends, neighbors and family to go ONCE EVERY DAY to this site and vote for us! Thanks so much!

Okay, parents! Here’s the challenge… last year our class was able to get 4 iPods for our class that the students used (and still use!) for listening to and looking at books digitally. So, this year we are trying again; this time for 2 iPod touches! If you go to Sonic and get a Limeades for Learning code, please, please, PLEASE either follow the link on this page and vote for our project or send it to school with your student and we will do it. Also, if your friends, neighbors, or family anywhere in the United States go to Sonic and get a drink code, then beg, borrow or steal their code to get votes for our project! Well, don’t steal… but let’s get some votes and some iPod touches! Voting is set to begin on Monday, August 30th. Some projects will be funded each week for 5 weeks. Why not us?!

We had a FANTASTIC day! Remember to look in planners and folders every day. Please initial planner daily. This will be a MARVELOUS year!

We made flat friends after reading the book Flat Stanley.  Then we mailed our flat friends along with a letter to people we knew asking them to take them on an adventure and write us back telling us about it.  Here is where our flat friends traveled to:

Here’s our movie we made after making 3 dimensional shapes with toothpicks and marshmellows:

Today we talked with our Skype Pals for the first time. They are Ms. Siratt’s 2nd grade class from Texarkana, Texas at Spring Lake Park Elementary. Earlier this week both classes wrote questions for our interview today. The teachers emailed each list to the other class. Then, each student was assigned a few questions to answer from the other class. Today, we conducted our interviews. Not only did the students have fun, but we practiced our reading, writing, geography and technology skills as well! We plan on Skyping each other several more times this spring. The slideshow below shows the Skype session in action. Enjoy!
