A Very Fun Friday!

We had a very fun day at school today!  It started with a presentation about Peru!  A mother of a student in our class is from Peru and she came and talked to us.  We loved getting to sample a couple of foods from Peru, and we really liked the animal finger puppets she gave us!  She showed us some really neat pictures and items from Peru!  




We started our plant unit in science this week.  We planted basil seeds yesterday, and today we planted lima beans in our own little "greenhouses."  We can't wait to see if anything sprouts next week!


To end our day, we made kites using plastic sacks and yarn.  After tying the yarn to our bag handles to make kites, we went outside and flew them.  It was so windy today!  Some of the kites flew right out of our hands!  We quickly learned that we had to hold onto our kite strings with two hands!  This was a really fun activity!
