Spring in Full Bloom
/We took advantage of this gorgeous spring day to go on a campus walk. We were searching for new signs of spring. We were thrilled to discover hummingbirds, a bird nest, squirrels frolicking, cherry blossom trees in full bloom, daffodils, and many new buds. We also saw mason bees pollinating flowers. We used digital cameras and tally marks to record our findings. We will create graphs of the data we collected. Many students chose to spend outside choice time playing dodgeball. We are working on good sportsmanship, including being able to win and lose gracefully. Today we received a letter from Ms. Shannon. We miss her and were excited to hear from her. During writer’s workshop some students continued working on stories about their desk pets or their graphic novels. Others chose to write letters to Ms. Shannon or siblings in the Shark class. We are hoping to receive some letters back. We also wrote a thank you letter to Clayton’s mom to thank her for the adorable desk pets. Ms. Siera returned to our classroom today! She just finished student teaching in a fourth grade classroom and now she gets to be in the Otter classroom until the end of the year.
Parents- We need some tin cans for a mason bee house project that we are hoping to do. Please send in your clean tin cans (soup or chili size would be great). Thanks!
