Blog Challenge 1

M&Mgroup

For our first Bright Spots’ challenge, I would like for you to get to know some of our local bloggers.  This week you will be meeting Mrs. Odom.  Mrs. Odom is an educational specialist on the Intermediate Campus.  Click on the picture above or on her name to visit the site.  Your mission, if you so choose, is to visit her blog page.  Stare at the heading of M&Ms and see if you can find the hidden picture.  Reply back to me and let me know what you saw.  Then take a look around her blog.  Read all about her under the tab called Odom’s Candy Jar, and be ready to share a fact with me that you learned about Mrs. Odom.  Finally for fun, go to her game page and check out some of her games.  Have a great time exploring!  I can’t wait to find out what you learn.

The Perfect Picnic

3dflagsdotcom_us_tx_2tawl-1Recently, the Brightspots kids started reading about several of our states great recreational areas.  After reading Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine, our kids planned their perfect picnic.  Be sure to check out the individual pages and read about their adventures.

If you could plan a picnic in the great state of Texas, where would you go, what would plan for your meal, who would you invite, and how would you spend your time?

For our out of state or country visitors, where would your picnic be held?  Tell us about some of the natural attractions from your area that a visitor might want to see.

Being able to solve a problem is very important!  To continue to work on our problem solving skills, I would like for each of you to go to Mr. Toft’s blog and visit his January 20th post.  He has a link for his students to visit for more math practice from Math Playground.  Visit this line and go through the Thinking Blocks models to sharpen your own thinking skills.  This is excellent practice for each of us!

Read any good books lately?

Recently I found a new blog where the students were giving book reviews for what they had been reading.  I enjoyed reading what they had to say and thought that this would be an excellent opportunity for us to share some thoughts on the books we have been reading.  What is your favorite book?  What did you like the most about the book?  What genre was the book?  Be sure to check out the book reviews on the Huzzah Blog and see if they are reading any of our favorites!

Here is your chance to get really creative.   Buy a small pumpkin about the size of an apple and decorate it like your favorite character.  The crazier the better.  This is your chance to punk out your pumpkins.  When you have your pumpkin decorated, bring it to school and we will take pictures for our Punked Out Pumpkin Parade on Friday, October 30.   ✹Be sure to leave a comment to let us know what you think of our Halloween activities!
