Earth Day

After discussing the importance of Earth Day and taking care of our planet all year long, we went on a scavenger hunt exploring living organisms, plants, and even picked up litter on our playground.  

Cameron doing his owl call, sooooo cute!

Geometry

The kids have been busy learning all about geometry, specifically attributes of 2D and 3D shapes.  We explored angles, vertices, parallel lines, right angles, and sides while created shapes with marshmallows and toothpicks.  The story The Greedy Triangle inspired our designs.

Puppy Party

When I learned we had won the puppy party, I imagined a box full of little pups, although we were surprised to see only one puppy enter our classroom on Friday.  We weren't at all disappointed because Meredith was so sweet, silly, and cuddly.  The kids absolutely loved this and were even writing her notes during the visit.  We rubbed her belly, threw her toys, gave her treats, and watched her frolic around our classroom. But oh my, trying to give all 23 kids the chance to interact with Meredith was a little bit of a challenge ;)

I am so proud of our class that worked very hard to help collect items for pets in need, just like Meredith, who we really came to love <3 Families thank you for your support!

We learned a little bit about where Meredith from PAWS employee Mrs. Clapper.

She immediately jumped on our comfy chair

She was instantly drawn to Korey

Just wandering around....

Amryn gave her a treat

We very quickly tired her out!

Belly rubs!!!!

I can't believe we got her to sit so nicely for this picture.

I decided to turn it into a Puppy Popsicle Party in the afternoon.  It was the perfect day for it.

Past Day

We were able to have such a fun day celebrating the end of our past unit.  We engaged in learning stations where students learned about school and games from the past.  The fact that so many children dressed up only added to all the fun.  Thank you so much for helping out with this!  I know it was hard enough for me to find an outfit!
