Lately...

To celebrate Mardi Gras, our mystery readers, Gabby's parents, read books to us about Mardi Gras, brought masks, beads, and a king cake for us to share!  We had so much fun learning about Mardi Gras traditions.  We even had a friend find the baby inside the king cake!

Dentist, Dr. Powell, visited us to teach us about dental health!  We enjoyed learning about how to keep our teeth healthy.

We went outside to catch snowflakes on black paper and enjoyed running in the snow!

Snakes

The students enjoyed learning about snakes and constructing a snake to add to our rainforest!  They chose to use tights and stuff with paper to create a body with scales.  They also painted spots on our snake.  Check out our completed project and all of our learning documented on our snake web!

100th Day of School

Today we celebrated the 100th Day of School!  We had lots of fun creating 100 day hats, transforming ourselves into 100 year olds, playing games with 100, counting to 100, and eating a 100 day snack!  Check out a few pictures from our day!

Jaguar

The students completed their jaguar research and construction this week!  The students discussed and created a construction plan and signed up for jobs.  The jobs included:  creating the body, painting spots, making a head, legs, and tail.  The students also documented their learning through a jaguar web!  Check out our finished project!

Measuring to cut the body

Stuffing the body with paper 

Painting spots 

Students in charge of the head paper mached a ballon.  They also used items around the room to create more facial structure and then paper mached again!
