A Special Visit

This morning two girls who wrote a book about raising a cow visited us and shared their book. We got goody bags to take home and our classroom got a book to keep. We got to have outside recess which was fun because there was no rain. We learned more about how seeds grow into flowers. Remember Friday is our library day so bring your book.

A Cool Wednesday

We planted seeds in our courtyard garden. We planted flowers, peas, radishes, lettuce, sunflowers, and gourds. We had fun outside.

A Hot Tuesday

We went into our schools courtyard and we began to work on our garden. Today we had to pull up a lot of weeds so we can plant seeds on Wednesday. We looked inside of a fava bean seed. We saw three parts; a little plant, a seed coat, and food storage. We played outside on this hot day.

A Fun Day at School

Recess was warm but breezy we had a great time outside. We practiced sorting shapes dring math. We visited the school courtyard to see the tulips we planted last Fall. We had time to play the math night games. Some Second Graders came to our class to read us books they wrote during writing workshop. In Library we voted for our favorite Black-eye Susan Book. Have a grea weekend we'll blog again on Monday.

Family Math Game Night

Thank You everyone for coming! We had a great time playing some of our games from math workshop.

Thursday at School

We learned some more about frogs. We learned from a book that frogs and toads can be same and different. We got our class picture taken outside BRRRRRR! We read another book about frogs. In math we began to learn how to subtract. To subtract you start with a whole group then take part away to find what part you have left. In art we are working on a line project.

Firefighters Visit our School

All of the kids got to dress up like firemen. We practiced stop,drop, and roll. We crawled under the smoke. And saw a firefighter all dressed up ready to save us. We got to feel his jacket. Mrs. Slotwinski tried on the fireman's clothes and raced a real firefighter by seeing who could get dressed the fastest. The firemen gave us homework. If you have a fire at home where does your family meet? It has to be outside away from the house.

Today in school

Today we read about our tadpoles lifecyle. We candled some of the eggs to see the embryo inside. We read a book about how our chicks will hatch and grow. Our tadpoles are growing legs.
