Mrs. CN Chamblee/Onofre's Class: I is for Ice Cream!!

Mrs. CN Chamblee's and Mrs. Onofre's class made homemade ice cream for the letter I. The kids each made their own ice cream in their own zip lock baggie. They mixed together the ingredients in a bag and then put that bag in a big baggie with ice and ice cream salt. They shook their baggie up until it froze and made ice cream. The kids had a great time and really enjoyed making ice cream for the letter I.

Mrs. C. Chamblee's Class: Reader's Theater

Mrs. Chamblee's class has been learning how to do reader's theater and they recently entertained us with a short play.  As Mrs. Chamblee read the book The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything, the students used props to act out what was happening in the story.  The rest of the class made the sound effects to go along with the book.  They did an outstanding job!!

Mrs. Cavannah's Class: ESL

The ESL students at Big Spring Lake have been very busy this year! In addition to learning their ABC’s, sounds and numbers in their classrooms, in the ESL classes they have been learning a lot of vocabulary and expressions to describe things around them and daily routines.  Some of the topics we have studied are: school vocabulary (for survival in their new environment), their body (so they can tell someone what hurts them), and what they do to get ready in the morning to come to school.  Pictured is one of the classes with the big book that is used to introduce the unit on “Getting Ready”.
