Our Thanksgiving Feast

After spending some time reading and discovering more about life in the early settlement of Plymouth, we slipped into the roles of Pilgrims and Native Americans as we prepared our lunch and celebrated the holiday with our own class Thanksgiving Feast.

Pumpkin Day 2010

Our class joined other students from around the globe to determine the number of seeds in pumpkins. We worked in teams to make estimates and then used our counting/addition strategies to determine our seed count. Our five pound pumpkin had 475 seeds! We also engaged in some other math and literacy pumpkin activities throughout the morning. Special thanks to parents who helped us with this fun learning activity! The pumpkin treats were delicious!

Butterflies All Around....Our Painted Ladies

The children have so enjoyed our Life Cycles Science Unit. We have many future scientists in our class! Each day the children excitedly entered the classroom to observe the butterfly cage. They could hardly contain their excitement when the day finally arrived to release these special creatures. Notice the beautiful smiles on the children's faces. You can actually feel their excitement as you watch the pictures. Enjoy!

How Do Butterflies View the World?

The children have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this quarter. Did you know that butterflies have compound eyes? That means they can see in every direction simultaneously.
