On the News

We got a surprise visit from the Q2 news crew on Wednesday. They wanted to do a story about technology use in the elementary classroom and they found their way to the Cooperative Combo. Luckily, we were at computer lab at the time! The kids did great! They were so proud to be "famous." Click on the link below to view the story.

Contraction Surgery

This week in spelling we are studying contractions. We had a bit of fun creating contractions by becoming spelling surgeons. Who knew spelling was so dramatic!

"Egg"ing

The Cooperative Combo has been up to some mischief. He, he! We "egged" two classrooms. We tip-toed into their rooms and hid an Easter egg with treats inside for every student. Then, we left them this sign and the instructions to "egg" two more classrooms. The kids are loving walking down the hall and seeing more and more "egged" signs pop-up. They love the fact that they started it all!

Spelling Battleship




The kids have been having a blast with Spelling Battleship. The kids hide their spelling words in the grid then try and find where each word is hiding using coordinates. Thank you to all the parents that played Spelling Battleship with their children for homework last week. It made for a fun way to review spelling words. If you ever want more copies of the gameboard, please just let me know.
