Scientists Working Together!

The children started with what they thought were plain white beads.  

They used a pipe cleaner to create a small creature with the beads.  

Look what happened when we stepped outside!  

After reading Beneath the Sun by Melissa Stewart, we learned how people, birds and animals protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays - even in the ocean!  Our goal was to work in engineering teams to create a shelter that would keep our beads from turning colors.  We learned so much about working together, rethinking our designs and the thrill of success.  

Below are just a few of our ideas.

 Great job Scientists!

Writers Use Labels

In writing workshop, 

we are learning the importance of using labels 

to help the reader gain meaning.

We labeled a picture first and then...

Our Principal, Mrs. Allen stopped by 

and we labeled her!

What a GREAT sport she is!  

Thank you Mrs. Allen!!

Partner Power!

Whether it's reading a book or a word in our classroom, 

it's so much more fun to do it TOGETHER!!

Thank you Mrs. Pletcher 

for reading Mrs. Wishy Washy with us!

Here a chick, There a chick...

On Wednesday, May 24, we were all delighted 

to sing happy birthday to seven new, baby chicks!

 As we serenaded the seven to sleep 

in their nursery,

three more hatched  - yay!

On Friday, we all had a chance to hold all ten

and give them each a special name. 

The weekend sunshine provided a chance to play outside.

Just look at all the thoughtful notes 

and drawings on the side of their coop!

Looking forward to seeing the children on Tuesday

and learning how to jump and roost.

Pancakes and Pajama Day

There is nothing like comfort foods, soft stuffed animals 

and comfy clothing 

to make your day extra special.  

Add your best buddies and well... it just doesn't get any better!

Thanks to all our wonderful parent pancake flippers!! 

 The pancakes were delicious and so were the toppings!

What happens when your pancake is almost gone???

You ask for another one!!  :)

After our morning brunch, 

we interviewed one another 

with questions about our favorite comfort things.

We ended our day with Mrs. Kemp 

leading us in some calming yoga poses.

What a wonderfully relaxing day of comforts!

Namaste

We had fun imagining

Olay!
