U.S Symbols

In Social Studies, we are studying U.S. Symbols. So far, we have studied The Statue of Liberty, the Flag, The Liberty Bell, and the Bald Eagle. The students have had such a great time learning facts about these symbols of our country! These are the bald eagles that the students made. We have also been watching a live nest cam from an eagle's nest. We are hoping the eggs hatch soon!

St. Patrick's Day Fun!!

Oh no!! Miss Small's class was attacked by a sneaky leprechaun! The room was a MESS!!

This student was stunned by the mess that he saw! :)

After we cleaned up, we went on a search for that sneaky little guy!

Later, in math class, we celebrated with "Leprechaun Math". The students sorted the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal and then graphed the results. We had a fun day!!

Non-Fiction Writing in Writer's Workshop!

In Readers' Workshop, we are reading non-fiction, and in Writer's Workshop we are writing non-fiction!! The students have started writing "How-To" books as a beginning point for this unit. They are doing a great job!

A Fun "Cat in the Hat" Snack!

This week we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss with this special Cat in the Hat snack. The students enjoyed making the cat but enjoyed eating it even more! We will be studying Dr. Seuss books for the next two weeks.
