Cows go Moo!

So today we learned about Cows and what they can do. We learned they give milk and they moo! But that milk turns into so much more. Like cheese, yogurt, butter, and ICE CREAM. Hey talking about ICE CREAM we are going on a fieldtrip to Maggie Moos on Thursday. Remember no school Wednesday because we could only schedule the fieldtrip for Thursday so we will see you then. Love you guys, Miss Kristi

Earth Day

So today we celebrated Earth Day. So we learned all about recycling, littering, and respecting the earth. I didn't feel like I was getting through to the kids about littering so I sent the kids out of the room and made a real mess. When I invited the kids back in they were disgusted at the mess. I think I made a real impression. Here is a poem we learned see if the kids remember the actions. Here is our earth, it's where I live, keep it clean, it's the gift I give.

Seeds to Grass

So today we learned that if you plant a little tiny seed it will grow into a plant, with soil, water and light. A tiny miracle if you really think about it. So we went outside and explored the grass roots, critters, stems and enviornment. We also learned grass is soft and cool to touch. It was a fun day to create our own pot and then plant our own grass, good luck with the grass kiddos.

Bird Games

So today we had fun creating our own bird. And then we used its feet to make "bird prints" all over our paper. Then we played Bird Bingo and Pick a Bird Graph. The kids had fun learning why birds have different feet and what they use them for. Then "Mud" Elleighs Great-Grandpa brought in some home-made icecream to share with everyone. Wow it is great to be a superkid!

Birds

Today we learned how birds are hatched from eggs. We also learned birds use their feathers and wings to help them fly. Birds can also be great swimmers. Then we used our senses to play a game where Ms. Kristi hid items inside some eggs and we tried to guess what was in the egg. This was great fun the kids just loved the guessing game. Thanks for coming to school today and remember the tuition is due at the first of the month if you have not paid already.
