D for Dad!

We celebrated our D day by inviting dads and grandpas to come to our class.  We even had one great-grandpa!  We got to give them a tour of our class, interview them, and learn how to shave from them.  We ended with showing them our playground for recess!

ABC Countdown- C day

For the last 26 days of school, we are having an ABC countdown starting with 'A' day and ending with 'Z' day!  For 'C" day we had "Creation Day" where the kids got to bring in their recyclables to make something new out of them!  This class is so creative!!  Here is what we made:

A milk jug shaker!

Buckingham Palace!

A crocodile!

A trap!

A tea cup and fish aquarium!

A butterfly cup!



 A snowman!

A house!

A pencil box!

Thank you Elevations Credit Union!

We had visitors from Elevations Credit Union come today to teach us about money.  We learned words like "denomination" and "counterfeit"!  We also learned about needs vs. wants and how to be wise with our money and spend, save, and share!  We did a marshmallow activity to test our will power.  All kids got a marshmallow at the beginning of the talk.  If they did not eat it by the end of the talk, they would get another marshmallow.  If they ate any of it early though they would not get another.  Everyone but 4 kids got another marshmallow!  This is what we looked like trying to refrain from eating them!!

Thank you, Bumkins!

To help us make less trash, Bumkins donated reusable bags for us to use for lunches, snacks, books, pool clothes, etc.  They have pictures from Dr. Seuss' book Horton Hears a Who on them too which is so cool!



"This bag is awesome!  It is so cool looking!  I like it when I got to the store for a new jacket and I can put my jacket in there instead of throwing away a bag."

"Thank you for giving me this bag.  I love that it has Horton Hears a Who on it!"

"I use my bag to hold stuff in.  I put stuff in it like my snack then I don't have to have any wrappers to throw away."

"I use this bag instead of using a plastic bag so it will make less trash."

Spring Party

We had a lovely day complete with an egg hunt, cookie decorating, making bracelets for the homeless, and munching on healthy treats and sweet treats!
