Have a great Week!

Today, the children came in excited for a long break! They managed to
pull it together and finish some reading and math activities. They also
completed centers and decorated some Easter work. This afternoon, the
kids will be visiting the music room, gym, and computer lab. We will
also make Easter bunny puppets. Have a great week and I will post again
next week:)

The children worked hard to make a word family wheel today. Please ask
them to show you their wheel when they get home. They did a great job of
reading the words. We also completed a little money review. Most of the
children retained the information about coins and their value. The kids
will visit the library and gym this afternoon. We made some fun Spring
art to keep in the classroom. In our centers this week, the kids will
have a chance to play a game from Professor Garfield
(professorgarfield.com). Check it out if you have a chance. Have a great
day!

Happy Friday!

The kids worked hard taking tests today! They did a great job on their
spelling test and their measurement math test. We also completed centers
and read our new take home book entitled "Gus". This is my favorite
take-home book (you will have to ask your child why). The kids spent the
day monitoring the bear and owl cameras online (sites are listed in
yesterday's post). Today, we also monitored the Africa cameras
(http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Africa_Animal_Cam.html,

and had the chance to see two rhinos, an elephant, and several Gazelle.
We hope to see more in upcoming days. This afternoon, the children will
visit the gym and music room. They will also create a fun Spring
project. Have a wonderful weekend!

Let the Sun Shine!

The children are keeping a close eye on the eggs and incubator that were
brought in yesterday. Thanks to the room parent and student who brought
it in for us to watch! We will hopefully see some active baby chicks in
three weeks. Today, we sounded out words and reviewed measurement in
math. We also completed some reading assessments (which will come home
today) and all passed. I am very impressed with the children and their
progress in reading. Fabulous job! this afternoon, we will be visiting
the gym, music room, and computer lab. It is choice day in the lab so
kids will be selecting a website (such as Starfall or PBSKids) to use.
Have a great day!

The children worked hard at sounding out words and reading words with
"magic E" this morning. We also completed two math lessons about weight
(heavy vs lite) and practiced writing sentences. This afternoon, the
children will visit the gym, music room, and computer lab. We will
create a Spring classbook as well. We viewed the owl cam at
http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Owl_Nest_Box_Cam.html as
well as the mama bear cam in Ely at
http://www.bear.org/website/lily-a-hope/live-den-cam.html. The
children enjoyed watching Molly primp her nest today! Have a great day:)
