Media Release Forms
As soon as you send back the media release forms, I can begin uploading pictures of your children from a variety of fieldtrips we have taken and fun lessons and activities that they have taken part in
St. Patrick's Day
I made these little gems for the ladies and brought the gents gold coins and tattoos! Those sassy leprachauns were quite good to us this year! :)
Rainforest Unit
We have been studying the Rainforest in depth the past few weeks and will be for additional week. We have studied the layers of the rainforest, tried different rainforest foods, made rainforest mud (learned how to write instructions), and have written our rough drafts of our Rainforest reports with a topic sentence, three supporting details, and a closing statement. We are now in the process of copying our rough drafts onto our final copy papers. On Friday, we will be creating animals from the rainforest and hanging them up in our classroom. Next week, the children will be making a Rainforest in a bottle and we will be making observations as we watch seeds grow in our "Rainforests." Watch more for photos to be added!
We LOVE Dr. Seuss and can rhyme better than a MOOSE!
Just a few of the fun activities we did to celebrate Dr. Seuss during "Read Across America Week"...
"Dress Up As Your Favorite Book Character" Day
Thank you Robert Munsch for creating silly and sassy stories that make children LOVE reading.
100th Day of School
Yikes.
We used the aging booth app to see what we will look like when are 100 and wrote about what we think we will be doing at that age.
We also made necklaces with 100 fruit loops on them to help us count by ten! The kids were crazy about this activity!!! Success!
Polar Bear Research
We learned about polar bears and how they stay warm in the Arctic Ocean.
Students put their hand into a bag which was inside another bag filled with crisco (to resemble the fat in between two layers of skin on a polar bear). This experiment was absolutely awesome, and really worked well!
These kids are so smart!!! I am so proud of their writing abilities!
Elf on the Shelf
Our poor friend Kristoff (Elf on the Shelf) took a tumble from the classroom palm tree and spent the rest of the day in Urgent Care!
Kristoff reported back to the North Pole every night! He was a wonderful classroom elf!
