Meeting Maxx on a Monday

YUM!

 

Just before lunch today, Alyssa's dog Maxx met us in the playground. He enjoyed the treats that Alyssa's dad brought for the students to give to him.

A visit from a Furry Friend makes our day!

 At the end of the day, Haley's mom brought Buddy, a nine year-old dog that belongs to Haley's neighbors. What a happy dog Buddy is! Several students were able to take him for a run and Buddy sure was eyeing up a wall ball . . . he even made a great catch!

A dog visit a day . . . .

Have you ever heard the saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Well, what does a dog visit a day keep away?! Today, we had our 4th furry friend visit for this week! Chelsea's dog, Davis, came by just before lunch. He was quite overwhelmed by all of us, so he was pretty shy!

Faith's faithful friend . . .

Today, at the end of the day, Faith's 8 year old dog, Lowkey, met us outside in the bright, hot sun. Mr. Hargreaves even provided some ice cold water for him, using a fancy punch bowl!

"Mini" Maggie's visit!

Today, at the end of the day, Renee's dog Maggie stopped by for a visit. She was definitely one of the smallest furry friends to visit Room 5 so far! Here are some cute pictures:

Mocha Monday

 

What a nice way to start off the week . . . with a furry friend visit! Carter's dog, Mocha, met us in the schoolyard just before lunch today. Every student got a chance to throw the (slobbery) ball for Mocha, using a lacrosse stick. Here's a video of Mocha going after a ball:

This week's Furry Friend Visit #3!

Wow! We had ANOTHER dog visit us today! We met Aidan's dog, Sawyer, outside just before lunch today because he's kinda on the BIG side! He showed us what a fast runner he is while Room 5 students threw a ball for him. Here's a video of Sawyer running like crazy:

ANOTHER visit by a furry friend!

Wow! We sure are lucky to be visited by so many furry friends! We had 2 visits just this week alone! Emmy's mom brought their new puppy, Georgie, in to meet the students. She's about 11 weeks old and I was quite impressed with how awesome she behaved with so many kids excited to see her all at once! Here's a quick video of Georgie!

Railay's Visit to Room 5!

Today was the perfect day for Railay to visit Room 5 . . . all the students were at school! Railay was spending the day at my parent's house, so my Dad brought her to the school at about 3:30. She was a very well-behaved guest . . . though, she liked to escape from our circle on the floor. She showed some tricks, and would have done a few more . . . if only I had a cookie (milkbone) for her! Hope you enjoy the video!

Sharing our Travel Fair with students and Room 5 Families!

Well, today was the BIG day! We invited classes to visit our Travel Fair during the last 2 periods of the day. Then, families of Room 5 students came by between 4:00 and 5:00. It was fantastic! I was so proud of the awesome work the students put into this project! I know they will remember this day for a long time! Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, and siblings that visited today. Many students were so excited and even kept count of how many "customers" stopped by their booths. AND, thank you to so many families for bringing in delicious food samples! I'm sure not too many of us ate dinner tonight!
Hope you enjoy the video!

 

Another surprise guest to Room 5!

We had another surprise guest to our classroom just before hometime today. Bella, one of Ryan's 3 dogs, stopped by! She showed off some tricks for us and was so friendly! It was a great way to end the week . . . with puppy kisses! Hope you like the video!

 

Room 5's surprise guest!

We had a very special guest this morning, right before lunch. Renee's bunny, Smokey stopped by for a visit! What a perfect pet guest to have on Easter Monday! He was so well-behaved with a class full of students!
