This week, Mrs. Yollis' class read "The Lost and Found", a story
in our anthology by Mark Teague.
The story is about three friends who get lost in the Lost and Found bin! Their lucky hats bring them good luck at the end of the story.

@ Jaden,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful comment filled with super details! Well done!
My favorite part of the day was watching everyone practice their math by writing on their desks. All of the answers were correct! Those lucky hats really work! I hope no one gets trapped in the bathroom by a giant squid on Wednesday. That's when we have our first math test! :-)
Thanks for helping me write the captions for our video! They are terrific!
Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs. Y♥llis
P.S. Don't forget to type a space after a period. :-)
@ Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend to. I keep forgeting to do the space after the period. I will try to remember.
From Jaden:-)
Dear Mrs. Yollis (and Jaden),
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video. I loved seeing all of the kids in their hats and I especially loved seeing what the kids are doing in your class all day. Will their be more videos like this in the future? I am so impressed with how much fun learning looks in your class.
Have a great weekend,
Marcie
Dear Mrs Yollis and students,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you had a Lucky hat Day. I really enjoyed your slide show of all the different styles of hats that everyone wore.
I do have a favourtie hat that I would love to wear when I lived in the Snowy Mountains and that was my Akubra hat.
These hats are very popular as many people on the farm land wear them. Maybe they would even consider them to be lucky hats as well.
I really found it hard to pick a favorite hat cause you all wore hats that I would wear and like.
Keep up the great work.
From your friend down under AA.
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I really liked the lucky hat slide show!
My favorite hat was Lindsey's because the dog on it was so cute.
Your student,
Kristen
Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of awesome hats.
What a great day it looks like all of you had a great day wearing and making hats thats pretty cool.
No I do not have a favourite hat.
However I have a favourite hat in the video and it was the purple puppy hat.
From Bianca (bb)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThe video was great, and I showed it to my family so they could see all the fun we had.
My favorite hat was Kristen's hat because I like cowboy hats. I also liked that she had her name on it and that it tied on the bottom.
My favorite part of the day was making our own hats. I made a white hat with a feather, a jewel, stickers, and a ribbon.
From,
Miriam
Dear Mrs Yollis and class,

Your Lucky hat day sounds Awesome! The video was Great! I think your hats were creative and very Lucky.
I love all the hats and I can't choose the best one.
Happy Blogging! :-)
From Your Friend Down Under Skye ♥
Dear Mrs. Y♥llis and class,
ReplyDeleteI loved the video post about lucky hat day. I showed it to my mom and she loved it too.
My favorite hat was Graces's, I love the reindeer. Yours was pretty nice also!
My favorite part of the day was when we got to draw on our desks.
Thank you for a fun filled day.
Your student,
Hannah
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThis week was filled with fun surprises, like writing with ice to lucky hat day. My favorite hat was Nick's because it was so fluffy.
I have a question, does anybody in your family have a lucky hat?
Your student,
Iman
@ Ryan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying our slide show was extraordinary! Nice word choice! Jaden and I worked quickly during Fun Friday to get those captions in. We are glad you liked our choices!
You asked about my favorite hat. I'd say my favorite was Alexa's hat because I liked all the shapes she attached around the brim. Also, I loved the pink feather boa that she wrapped around as a hat band.
@ Marcie, (Jaden's mom)
Thanks for the compliment about the video! Yes, there will be more videos like this all year. It is fun for everyone to have a glimpse inside the classroom, especially on fun days like Lucky Hat Day!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@ AA and BB,
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful Lucky Hat Day! I love spirit days where everyone can join in and share their creativity.
I remember the Akubra hat! Kate's grandmother wore one when she came in to talk with us about growing up in Australia! Here is a link to that slide show:
Kate’s Grandmother Shares about Australia
Many people liked Lindsay's purple dog hat. It looked so cute in the picture!
Your pal,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@ Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your family liked seeing our slide show! I thought Lindsay's purple dog hat was very cute, too. However, I love a cowboy hat, especially a red one! :-)
@ Miriam,
Thanks for a wonderfully written comment! Great detail sentences!
I'm glad you took the time to share it with your family. That's one of the reasons why we publish...to share our day and our learning with our families!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@ Sophie, (from Australia)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fabulous comment! I noticed you used some HTML code to get in some italics. Well done!
You asked me if I made my hat. No, I did not. However, my Grandma Smillie made it back in the 1950s or 1960s! Can you believe how old that silly hat is?
No, you did not have to wear a lucky hat. However, good luck came to those who wore one! :-)
My favorite hat was Alexa's because she attached a lot of fun shapes around the brim of the hat AND the band was a lovely pink feather boa!
@ Skye, (from Australia)
Thanks for your kind words about our hats and the video! I agree with you, all of the hats were very creative!
If you and Sophie were designing lucky hats, what would you put on them and why?
Your American friend,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@ Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful comment! I'm glad you shared it with your mom. That's one of the reasons that we publish on our blog, to share our day and our learning with our parents.
Yes, Grace's reindeer hat was a big hit! I wonder if the reindeer had a name?
I'm glad you liked writing out the place value lessons on the desk. It is a big surface, so big numbers can be written in expanded and word form very easily.
@ Iman,
I like how you used the word surprises! We read many stories about surprises...the giant bee story, the two Mark Teague stories, and then our day was filled with surprises! Great word choice!
I have another lucky hat that I wear when I am out in the sun. It is made of straw and has a big brim. It is not as fancy as the one I wore on Friday, but luckily this one keeps the sun out of my eyes!
Does anyone in your family have a lucky hat?
Your teacher,
Mrs. Y♥llis
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to be in your class.This is my first time blogging.I went fishing over the weekend with my dad,have you ever gone fishing as a kid?
From,
Nicolas
@ Nicolas,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your first comment! Good for you! I'm glad that you are in my class as well!
You mentioned you went fishing this weekend. Were you wearing your lucky hat? Did you catch anything?
:-)
Sincerely,
Mrs. Y♥llis
lDear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved the slide show that you made.My favorite lucky hat was Lindsay's hat.The best part of the day was when we were drawing on our desks. I had a wonderful time.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs Yollis and class,

My favorite hat was Gracie's hat.
My favorite part of the day was Fun Friday.

Dear Mrs. Y♥llis,
ReplyDeleteI like your lucky hat. I especially like the ribbon that ties around it. I wish we had lucky hat day in my class.
Warmly,
Leila (Hannah's sister)
Dear Mrs.Yollis
ReplyDeleteYour class looks so amazing, and they have increadible hats.
Your former student,
Anais
Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some very impressive hats! I really like the book "lost and Found" by Mark Teague, what a great way to celebrate the story.
I also thought it was very cool that you wrote on your desks with dry erase markers! I would love to do that in class. I'll test out the desks tomorrow - did you have to do anything special to them?
Once again, another fabulous post by our California blogging buddies!
From,
Mr. Salsich
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI liked the slideshow. I showed it to my grandparents in Washington D.C. My favorite hat was Ryans. I am sorry I had to miss lucky hat day.

Dear Mrs.Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI showed my dad the slide show, he liked it very much. my dads favorite hat was the purple dog.

@ Nicolas,
ReplyDeleteThanks for another terrific comment! I loved drawing on the desk as well. For one thing, there is plenty of room to write!
@ Jaz,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Do you have a lucky hat? If so, tell us about it!
@ Ileanna,
Welcome to the blog! Terrific first comment! What did you do during Fun Friday?
Leila, (Hannah's sister)
Wow! Welcome to our blog! Who is your teacher? We hope you'll come back and comment!
@ Anais,
I am so glad that you stopped by the blog and left a comment! Do you remember Lucky Hat Day? What kind of a hat did you wear?
@ Mr. Salsich,
Mark Teague is such a creative and funny writer. We also read one of his books called The Short Cut.
Drawing on the desk with dry erase pens is a lot of fun. Plus, you don't waste any paper! Some colors stain a little. However, we used Clorox wipes to clean them at the end. One cloth would clean 4-6 desks. Windex would work too.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Y♥llis
Dear Mrs.Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI wish I was at Lucky Hat Day. I was very sad to miss it. But I watched the video and thought Grayson's hat was the best hat because it had a cool shape on it. Was it a dragon? I thought writing on the desks looked fun. Do you think we'll do that again someday? If not, I'll try to do it at home if my mom lets me. I was thinking of making my own video after my brothers and I make our own lucky hats. I hope you had a happy Lucky Hat Day!
From,
Tucker
@ Tucker,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful comment! We missed you on Lucky Hat Day!
Yes, we practiced our math using the dry erase pens. And, yes, we will be doing it again!
Best wishes,
Mrs. Y♥llis
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThe slide show was spectacular! My favorite part was when we drew on our desks and when we had fun Friday. My favorite hat was Alexa's hat because it was very very beautiful and huge. What was your favorite lucky hat?
Your student,
Adia
Dear Mrs Yollis, students and Alexa,
ReplyDeleteI saw Alexa this week and she shared her excitement about your blog with me. Your class seems so energized and enthusiastic. I want to wish you a happy autumn and a wonderful school year.
Best regards,
Dr. Nan Zaitlen
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding to my comment. My teacher is Mrs. Clebanoff. I hope I get into your class next year!
Warmly,
Leila
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Rachel and I am Alexa's older sister. Alexa has told me so much about you, and your blogging. When I was in third grade, I did not get the experience blogging, but now that Lexi has you, she shows me a lot! I am so exited to blog with you and your class. I wish I could do the fun stuff in fifth grade that you do in third grade. It looks like so much fun!
All in all, I hope you have a great time blogging with the class.
Sincerely,
Alexa's big sis,
Rachel
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe how fabulous lucky hat day was. I thought that everyone's hats were terrific. I loved how our class decorated the hats. I also liked how we all had beautiful things on our hats because some of them were plain and some of them added fun decorations.
My favorite hat was Lindsay's because her hat looked like a dog. I also liked my hat a lot, too!
Did you see the blog post from my doctor, Dr. Zaitlin? I was so excited to read what she wrote.
Warmly,
Alexa
Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteI think your lucky hats were so cool! I cannot wait to be your blogging buddy this year!
Your Mrs. Ranney's Blogging Buddy,
Mikayla
Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you!
Also, thank you for saying it was a fabulous comment! It was so nice!
You did'nt make your hat. Well I think it is very pretty!
Wow! Made in the 1950's or 1960's!
I think that hat would be about 50 or 60 years old.
Is that correct?
Yes, good luck would of came to those who wore one. Is'nt that why they are called lucky hats?
Did all of your kids wear one? If they all did, that probably means that your classroom was full of luck!
It sounds like Alexa's hat was the best? I wish I could of seen it!
I think it was a great idea by you (and Mrs Ranney)!
Maybe 2KM could try the same idea!
Your friend from down under,
Sophie
Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteI just saw the video about lucky hat day. It looks like your class is great. My grandson Jaden is very lucky to have you as a teacher. He sure loves the computer.
Sincerely,
Carol (Jaden's grandmother)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures from lucky hat day! What a wonderful and fun way to start the new school year. It's easy to see why the children are so excited and happy to be members of your classroom!
Both of us look forward to keeping up on Alexa's adventures this year, thanks to your blog. Thanks for allowing Grandparents to be included!

Good Morning Mrs. Yollis Class,
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Yollis,
Finns dad wore a fun hat when he graduated Syracuse University. He was on the front page of the newspaper too. Finn's dad has a nickname, Duckie. When he graduated from college he put a stuffed animal duck on top of his cap and was on the front page on the newspaper for wearing such a unique cap and gown. If we can find the photo we will post it.
From, Whitney
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteFinn has already had three official hats from Cub Scouts. First he got a Tiger Hat, than a Wolf Hat, and now he proudly wears a Bear Hat....next he will have a Webelos Hat.
From, Howard Schwartz
Hello Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI love to hear Finn talked about blogging and the Internet. I wear a hat almost everyday and would love to come in one day and show you all the hats I have. Of course, if you want. I can also tell a story to the class. All the best, Howard
@ Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your fun comments!
We thought what you said about the ducky cap was very funny! It is interesting that Mr. Schwartz got published in the newspaper. We'd love to see the newspaper picture.
We think a nickname like Ducky is funny!

Tucker, Iman, Adia, Hannah, and Finn
