Welcome!






I would like to welcome our new student, Natalie, into our morning classroom!  We are so happy to have you join us! :)

Lucky Leprechauns


We used our story can to help us retell St. Patrick's Day stories. 
(We had a lot of fun reading about tricky leprechauns!)

Our afternoon class had some extra time to play Roll a Leprechaun.

That silly leprechaun played a lot of tricks on us! 
He made a mess of the room and even mixed up our books!

Here are some of the awesome Leprechaun Traps our classes created! 
I was so impressed with the amount of creativity the children showed and how detailed they were in their
explainations when they shared and set up their traps!























Although we tried hard, we didn't catch the leprechuan this year.  (We think he escaped through the window.)  However, he did leave us yummy treats and even a good luck charm!
Maybe we'll be luckier next year...

Oceans of Fun!


We made cvc (consonant-vowel-consonant) words during our Daily 5 stations.



We used tree maps to organize new learning about ocean animals.

 

Students had a great time comparing and contrasting sharks and orcha whales!

Math Stations (Week of February 27th)

We sorted, counted, and recorded items from inventory bags.



We played Collect 20 Together. The students did a fantastic job
asking each other, "How many do we have and how many do we need?"


We used goldfish as counters to solve our Cat in the Hat addition problems.

Here's a peek at what we learned throughout our unit!
