Farewell to Mr. Bubba

Last Friday was Mr. Bubba’s last day in our classroom. Bubba is now officially a licensed teacher with a master’s degree! Students and families sent in balloons, decorations, and treats for our farewell celebration. Students planned a sneaky balloon attack on Mr. Bubba and then presented him with cards depicting their favorite memories with him. It was a bittersweet day.

Last week students also continued exploring our outdoor classroom gardens. They made detailed sketches and recorded their observations regarding the growing conditions required by plants in each garden area. In addition, students used digital cameras to take photos of the plants they are researching. Students took photos from a variety of different angles. During writer’s workshop students finished writing their expository books about specific native plants that are growing into our outdoor classroom.
