Working Hard!

We worked hard today at our learning centers!  Mrs. Bickel says we work like 1st graders!!!

Book Fair

We toured the book fair that is set up in our school library!  There are so many great books for sale!  We had fun looking at the books and we did a great job of being careful with all of the new books that are for sale!

Writing Time/Flossing

Mrs. Bickel took pictures of us during writing time today because we were working so hard!  Many of us can write two or more sentences now during writing time!  

We practiced flossing our teeth today after snack time!  We have learned so much about our teeth and how to take care of them!  We were pretty good flossers today!

Fun Friday!

We had a special visitor come today for Fun Friday!  The Tooth Fairy came and read us a fun story called "Moose's Loose Tooth!"  February is Dental Health Month, and we are learning about teeth!  The Tooth Fairy even gave us all a little "tooth bag" to put under our pillow after we lose a tooth!

Green Eggs and Ham

Mrs. Zapata prepared a very fun lesson for us today!  We learned about the protein food group, and then she made us green eggs and ham!  They were delicious!

We were sad that this was Mrs. Zapata's last day to visit us.  She gave us each a plate to take home so we can practice eating healthy like she taught us during her nutrition lessons.  We learned a lot from her each time she visited our classroom!

Valentine's Day Fun!

We were so excited when we arrived at school and saw chocolate candies hidden throughout our classroom!  We had to find all 100 of them that Mrs. Bickel hid!  Then, we had to look at the number on the bottom of each piece of candy and place it in its correct spot on the "100 Heart Chart."  We were really fast at finding the hidden candies, but putting them on the chart took a little more time!

We had a Valentine's Day Party today!  It was so much fun!  We played a balloon game, painted clay hearts, made ice cream sundaes, and threw huge marshmallows through a large valentine heart!  Our valentine bags were full of goodies that we got to take home, too!  It was a wonderful party, and a great way to end our four-day week!!!

Mrs. Zapata/Candy Heart Science

We learned about the dairy group with Mrs. Zapata today for our nutrition lesson.  This was a fun day with her because she let us make pudding!  We got to choose between vanilla or chocolate pudding!  We loved this activity!

We experimented with what happens when you put candy hearts in water, vinegar, and soda today.  We also made predictions about whether the candy hearts would sink or float.  It was fun to watch the candy hearts "dance" when we dropped them in the soda!  We discovered that some of the candy hearts started to dissolve in the vinegar and the candy hearts started turning the water a different color in the water cup.  This was a fun experiment to observe.

Valentine Candy Math

We used candy hearts to do our math lessons today!  We sorted our candy hearts by color and then graphed how many of each candy hearts we had.  It was fun getting to eat our math work when we were done sorting and graphing!

Fun Friday

We decorated our valentine bags for Fun Friday! It was so much fun!  We worked so hard on them and they look amazing!  We are excited to take them home next week full of valentine cards and treats!
