Spring has Sprung!

Although we haven't had continuous Spring Weather, we have enjoyed the little bit of sunshine that we've gotten! Spring has finally sprung! 

Spring has Sprung! Maybe...

Even though the Wendy the Weather lady is telling us a MUCH different tale, we are hoping that her prediction for snow later this week is incorrect! Last week and today we did a lot of our learning outside - calendar, math, and read to self. 

It. Was. Awesome!

We had a lot of fun learning, playing and growing outside! 

Here's to hoping that this nice Spring weather is here to stay!
Check out some fun Spring Projects that we have been working on!

Spring Concert!

We had our Spring Concert on Friday and it was quite the spectacular show! We start everyday by greeting one another in different ways, sharing something, doing a unique activity and reading our morning message. Since everyone looked like a superstar, we decided to bow or courtesy to one another.

Thanks to all the parents that came for their Lights, Camera, Action performance! We had quite a few "Hollywood Superstars" at the show! Here is a slideshow for you to enjoy!

Lights, Camera, ACTION! -

Singing in the Springtime!

We are jumping into Spring with a lot of bright, fun and colorful project. This week we began learning about insects. Here are some facts we learned: 

Mason: All insects have 6 legs. 

Sam: Insects have three body parts - head, thorax, abdomen (Ask your child to sing you our head, thorax abdomen song!) 

Avery: Insects are lots of different sizes. 

Ashlyn: Insects come in different colors. Marissa: Most insects have wings, but not all can fly. Treyson: Ants can carry 100 times their body weight. 

Alex: You can find insects everywhere. 

Tabitha: All insects have antennae. 

Tyler: Butterflies and beetles are insects. 

Our list could go on and on! But, as you can see, our brains gained quite a bit of knowledge this week on insects! It was a very fun week and next week we are moving on to stories and facts about fish! We hope you enjoy our videos (uploaded on Monday) and Smilebox this week! We have become quite the singers and dancers! :) 

Here's to Singing in Springtime! 

Hoppy Spring!

Thursday was a fun-filled day with crafting our own bunny baskets, creating a bow-dacious bunny project, switching for math groups, and going on one massive easter egg hunt. I spent my prep period hiding 51 eggs out on our school grounds! Why 51 to be exact? Well in the Rainforest room we have been talking a lot about sharing, playing fair, and treating each other with respect. So I thought if we were going to do an egg hunt, it would need to be fair and the students would need to share. 

So here were the rules: 

1. A student can only pick up an egg they find if it matches their first name. 

2. If they find an egg that doesn't belong to them, they are to gently put it back, so that the rightful owner can hunt for it. 

3. Each student was allowed to find one fun shaped egg to keep for themselves. 

Altogether, each student was responsible for finding 3 eggs and with a little teamwork we ended up finding ALL 51 eggs! It worked out beautifully, because everyone ended up with the same number of eggs and it took a little more time to hunt! When we got back into the classroom we enjoyed some Easter candy and we created a unique spring bunny to add to our scrapbook!  

We know we had a hoppy spring day and we hope you all did as well!
