Plants!

The students have learned about living and non-living items in science. They also have learned the characteristics of plants and what plants need to survive. They know that plants need food, water, sunlight, and air.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

The students have been learning about word families and rhyming words. We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2nd by making Cat in the Hat shaped hats with their choice of rhyming words and word families. It was fun!

Snap Cube Building

The kids love using the snap cubes to build different items. 

Graphic Organizers

After going to Dewberry Farm, the children began writing about the field trip. We are learning how to use graphic organizers to put down all their ideas for their topic writing. They will use these graphic organizers to help them write their books during writer's workshop.

Dewberry Farm!

We went on our field trip to Dewberry Farm. The children had so much fun! When we arrived, we went on the tractor ride to see the Christmas trees and pumpkin patch. They even got to pick their own pumpkin! After the ride, we went to see the honey bees and learned that the female bees are the ones that work and the men honey bees are lazy. Interesting! We also went into a dark room where there are hundreds of carved pumpkins lit up. It was amazing. The children got to go feed the goats, see baby chicks, and animals. Once we covered all the basics of Dewberry Farm, the children got to play on some of the activities like the big slide and cow ride.

Pinwheels for Peace

The entire school celebrated the United Nations International Day of Peace by participating in making pinwheels, learning songs, and celebrating together. They had a  great time! The students made pinwheels for peace to talk about the ongoing violence and hate that is in international and local media and headlines.

Back to School!

The school year has finally begun and it has been very exciting! We have learned lots of social skills and begun writer's workshop. The students all drew pictures of a social skill they learned and labeled. Love it!
