Fun With Colors & Shapes!

For the past 3 weeks, we have been learning about colors & shapes. We made color collages, fruit loop necklaces, mixed paint, AB patterns, & shape trains. We also learned fun color & shape songs. Our favorite activity was the "shape hunt" around our school & classroom to find real-life objects that are circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, etc.

Off to a Great Start!

Tropical Rain Forests!

This week we had an exciting time exploring and learning about Rain Forests! We made snakes, rain forest patterns, rain sticks, and enjoyed rain forest pizza on Friday. We talked about the many helpful products that come from the rain forest and the 4 different layers that make up the forest. We also discussed ways to help save the endangered animals that live in the rain forest.

WE LOVE SPRING!!

Attack of the Leprechaun!

After our field trip...we returned to find that our room had been visited by a Leprechaun! Furniture was moved, chairs were upside down, our calendar was missing, and little green footprints were everywhere!

Bamboo Farm Field Trip

On Wednesday, we took a field trip to the Bamboo Farm! The kids had a great time! We picked strawberries, planted seeds, and learned what plants need in order to grow. We also enjoyed eating lunch at the lakeside pavilion. Thanks to all of the volunteers who joined us!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

The students had a great time this week learning about Dr. Seuss. We read rhyming stories, watched Horton Hears a Who, played Green Eggs & Ham tic-tac-toe, and created our own rhyming chart. The Foot Book, at home projects, turned out fantastic! On Friday, we celebrated his birthday by making hats & painting our faces like "Cat in the hat"!

Last week we learned about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Students learned that Harriet helped over 300 slaves escape to freedom and that she was the head "conductor" of the Underground Railroad. We also made a class freedom quilt representing the secret form of communication used by many slaves during that time.
