Spike, our class pet

I came in on Monday morning and guess what I found? An empty hamster cage! I was very upset that our class pet Spike was gone! Was he still in our classroom? Did he run out into the halls? Did he hide in the principal's desk? Was he hiding in the library? Would we ever find him.....

Happy Columbus Day


Monday was Columbus Day. We read a story about Columbus, researched him on the internet, watched a short movie and read a play about his voyage. Another way we celebrated this day was by creating our own ships. Each student was given a milk carton and paper. We let the students create their boats on their own. The teamwork that this class showed was amazing! Students worked together to assemble their ships. They turned out fantastic and the students are so proud of their work.

Apples

We tasted 3 kinds of apples. They each tasted so different! We tried a Golden Delicious, a Gala and a Granny Smith. Everyone had their own thoughts about the apples. Listen to what each child thought about their favorite apple!
