Fabulous February!

WOW! It's hard to believe we've reached the end of February! This month just flew by. February was filled with several exciting activities. We celebrated the 100th day of school, Valentine's Day and enjoyed a special program called Wingmasters. 
Thank you to Mrs. Mackenzie and Mrs. Young, our mystery readers!
Enjoy some of the highlights below!

Happy 100th Day of School!

During math we used teamwork and creativity to create things using 100 pieces.

We had some fun seeing what we would look like in 100 years with the help of an aging app.

We created a class book of our 100 Day projects using the app Book Creator. Click on the link below to read.
100th Day Book


The kindergarteners enjoyed a fabulous show called Wingmasters. We had a chance to see and learn about an Eastern Screech Owl, a Falcon, a Barred Owl, and a Great Horned Owl. We learned how they use camouflage to hunt and protect themselves in the wild. We also learned that owls and falcons have sharp talons to catch their prey and that Falcons are silent when they fly. We learned that the smallest owl is the elf owl and it weighs just 1 1/2 ounces. Most Barred owls weigh abiut 1 1/2 pounds. It was interesting to see the owls and falcon up close.

I can't wait to see what March will bring!

Our Snowmen at NIght class book

Last week we read the book Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. The story is about a boy who builds a snowman and the next morning when he looks at it, it is not the same. This makes the boy wonder what snowmen do at night. 

Using the app Book Creater, our class made our own version of this fun story. First, we read and discussed the story. We talked about the ideas the boy had and then we brainstormed some other things that the snowmen might do during the night. Next, I modeled how to create a page on Book Creater and then during the next few days, during our workshop block, the students created their page for the story. They learned how to change the color of the background, change the pen stroke, change the color, draw a picture with details, and add their voice.  We hope you enjoy our version of the story.
