Treehouse Museum Field Trip

We had a fabulous time at the Treehouse Museum yesterday! The kids loved learning about Chagal and all of his art. We wish we could have stayed there all day. Thanks to the cold weather we came back to the school and had a picnic in our pod. What a fun day!!!!

Halloween Program

We had a fabulous time at our Halloween program! The kids worked super hard and they looked amazing! Thanks to everyone that came to watch!

Pumpkins!

We had such a fun time with our Spooky Pumpkins. The kids worked hard to empty their pumpkins. Then we used the seeds to do lots of math activities! What a fun way to learn!

Block Walk

We had a fabulous time on our Block Walk. The weather was wonderful and it was so fun to see where all of our friends live!

The Moon

We have been learning a lot about the moon this month. Yesterday we watched a short video to help us see what the moon looks like up close. The students noticed the colors of the moon and the craters. Then, we made our own moons. We used glue bottles to create the craters and then painted over our dried craters. Any excuse to paint!!!

Color Value Dragons

This week our story was Dragon Gets By. Dragon was not a healthy eater and it got him into a lot of trouble. Today we talked about color value and painted three dragons. We loved getting the paints out and the kids did a fabulous job!

Meet Little D

This week we started our nutrition unit this week. We will be doing lots of fun activities over the next few weeks. Little D and the Royal Food Family will help us learn how to be more healthy!

Here are some games you can play at home!

Fun Run and Carnival

We had a fabulous time at the Fun Run and Carnival this weekend. Thanks to everyone that came! I tried to get pictures of everyone at the Fun Run and then forgot to take pictures at the Carnival...sorry. We are so proud that the fastest second grader came from our class! Whoo whoo!

Easter Fun

On Friday we had a fun Easter day! We did Easter Egg DOL as a class and then had an Easter Egg Hunt with our fourth grade buddies! Happy Easter!

Puppet Shows

Thanks for coming to our puppet shows! The students had a lot of fun preparing for and performing their shows!

Thunder Cake

Our story last week was Thunder Cake. It's a wonderful story about a little girl that is afraid of the storm. Her grandma decides to have her help make Thunder Cake. While making the Thunder Cake she learns that she is brave and doesn't need to be afraid of the storm. At the end of the story the author gave us the Thunder Cake recipe. On Friday we had Thunder Cake Cupcakes!

Those Pesky Leprechauns

Sadly the window in our classroom was left open last night and the Leprechauns got in. They made such mess in our classroom. They left footprints and Leprechaun Dust all over our tables. Luckily, they left us some Leprechaun Juice. Liam the Leprechaun told us to drink it very slow and it might turn our feet green while we sleep.
