Here is a glance at what we have been up to this month!
We've been continuing with Math Menu as students arrive at school most mornings. We have been working on number formation, groupings and counting, and combinations to five.
Lunch Bunch has been a blast. We look forward to it each week! You'll notice we've added some fancy touches such as candles (not actually real of course).
Ms. Keel comes in each Thursday to give us a guidance lesson. We discuss the importance of speaking up when others are being unkind and how to stay safe at school and other places. Sometimes we work on teamwork like in this photo. We were trying to pass the hula hoop around the circle without dropping our hands. It was tricky!
We have been making a lot of crafts that have to do with the earth and how to take care of it. In the coming weeks we will be focused on spring, plants, and creating a memory book for our school year.
One afternoon we read Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco. It was about a grandmother who helps her granddaughter overcome her fear of storms by collecting ingredients to make a delicious cake which is best to make in a thunder storm! We had earned 100 "alphabits" so we had a crazy idea... what if we made Thunder Cake in our classroom?? We loved making it and then eating it and didn't even mind the secret ingredient which was tomatoes!
We've started planting and learning about what plants need to survive and thrive. Soon we will be talking about plant parts and creating even more experiments.
During our time in the forest we have seen a lot of changes! The ice has melted and we can see the bare ground, however it is still so chilly and a bit soggy due to rain. We're glad to have rain pants and are looking forward to more adventures throughout the spring.
