Huxtable!
That's right! We finally got our puppy!!! :) His name is Huxtable {after the greatest show ever} and my parents decided to get his sister, Betty. They are Shih-poos and were 8 weeks old when we picked them up. I am in heaven...unless that's just sleep deprived delusion. Still working through that one.
Since I had to miss a day of school to drive down and pick him up from the breeder I figured we could use that in the next day's lesson. Building on interest and all, right? ;) So we created a Bubble Map together on the SmartBoard to describe Huxtable. They looked at pictures of him {because he hasn't had all of his shots yet} and came up with their own words.
The next day they used their Bubble Maps to draw a picture and complete "Huxtable is ____." sentences.
I challenged my higher kids to then come up with their own additional sentences.
So between not sleeping full nights {he isn't really sure of the difference between a nap and a full night's sleep} and wanting to do nothing but snuggle him when I get home, I've been MIA. But I have pictures ready for apples, pumpkins, measurement, comparing amounts, letter sounds and literacy ideas. Late is better than never, right?! Coming {relatively} soon. ;) Thanks for sticking with us!!
How adorable those puppies are! I think they are Shih-Tzus?! I have two myself and just LOVE them!! I bet yours is going to grow up to be some glamourous little puppy!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I am so envious! I'll be glad to babysit anytime...:)
ReplyDeleteHa! No, Annie, they really are shih poos. They're shih tzu and poodle mixed breeds. ;)
