Eensy Weensy Spiders...

Our Reading Groups have just completed a Spider Unit. We've built on our "spider schema" and discovered some more interesting facts. Of course, creating an edible visual always helps us remember what we're learning!

A Quick Snapshot of Our Daily Math

Have you ever thought about how many tasks
you do each day that require you to do some
measuring? We brainstormed some ways
that we use measurement in the world
around us and then spent some time working
together measuring items in different ways. This
quarter our focus was on measuring with non
standard units and then inches. In the coming
months we'll refine our measuring skills and learn
about the metric system too!

Releasing Our Painted Ladies

A few weeks ago our butterflies were finally ready to enter the beautiful outdoor world. The children were such wonderful "parents" for these creatures that began as a tiny caterpillar!

Our Meadowlark Bear

  Our school mascot is a bear. A few weeks ago there was a contest so that students could rename our mascot. One of our students' suggestions was chosen. Congratulations to Reesa for naming our Meadowlark Bear! His new name is "Scout".
