Champ and Me by the Maple Tree

Today we read the book Champ and Me by the Maple Tree by Ed Shankman. It is an awesome story of a young girl and what she does with her new found friend Champ!
We then talked about what we would want to do if we met Champ. Between jumping on a trampoline, solving a puzzle, swimming and swinging we really thought of some exciting things to do. Once we had brainstormed some ideas, we decided to make our own book! Each student drew what he/she wanted to do with Champ in pencil this morning. Mrs. Bahr and I traced over their drawings with permanent marker. Then this afternoon each student was able to watercolor paint his/her drawing.



We will be binding the pictures into our very first classroom book, Champ and Miss Brehm's Class by the Maple Tree! It will be a very special book. This book will go home with each student with our very own Champ and the original book for two days! Champ and the books will be accompanied by a journal. In that journal parents can help their son/daughter scribe what they did with Champ! I am very excited to see all of the adventures Champ will go on with everyone!

Hope you all had a fabulous day!
Love,
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm

In honor of my momma, Katrina Brehm, I am running a marathon. Crazy, I know. I got it from her. In Mom’s memory, my goal is to raise enough money to send a child to @camptakumta ! Please take a moment to check out the link in my bio and if you’re able to, give any amount. Thank you ☀️
