Not-So-Winter Weather and Currently

Can you believe that it is technically still winter???  We are having some majorly unseasonably warm weather- our area actually broke a record today.  Every day when we're doing calendar I giggle a little when we read the season.  Of course, now the kiddos think it's hilarious that we are sweating while we're reading "The season is winter..."
Yesterday, I wanted to be outside SOOOO badly because we had such gorgeous weather.  I decided to check and see if our iPad and iPods would get a signal on the playground and guess what?  They sure did!  So, we grabbed some books and headed out to read and take AR tests outside.  I told my students if they read quietly for 15 minutes I would let them play while they were waiting their turn to take their tests.  I don't think I've ever had a reading time where they worked so hard! =)
 
We made dinosaur hats today- doesn't this one kind of freak you out?  haha!


I love having an administrator that supports these spontaneous little moments we sometimes have.  Have you had a chance to head outside for any lessons this year?


Even though I'm a little late, I also linked up with Farley's March Currently.  =)

  1. I'm so jealous of your warm weather! The weather has been nuts around the country lately, though, I know. In Seattle, we rarely get snow and never, ever in MARCH! Wouldn't you know it's been snowing and hailing for 10 minutes at a time, interspersed with sunshine for the last two weeks. Crazy, I tell you!

    SUCH a great idea you had today to motivate them with play during testing. If we had more favorable weather, I'd try that out myself!

  3. So jealous of the ipads in your room! I think it should be mandatory for every classroom! We are teaching 21st century learners after all!
