We have been learning about groundhogs this week. Today we had fun creating our own burrows! Mine had a flat screen TV and the kids were super creative too!
Today was our 90th day of school! We celebrated by making an art projects using heart shapes and writing about our year so far. Mrs. Ross and I have such mixed feelings....90 days until summer means only 90 days until we have to send these wonderful kids to second grade!
We are having fun working on our second trimester projects. Students did research on weather topics and then planned out either a Keynote or Comic Life project. They had to write out their plan and also learned how to recall facts in their own words. They are so excited to add QuickTime movies and transitions to their projects. Check back soon to see the competed projects!
Our class is helping our upper grade friends as they research and collaborate on projects about school lunches. Once we explained what "vegetarian" and a Caesar salad were the kids completed a survey of items they would like to eat at school. I, for one, would love to see a salad bar at Gardenhill, yum!
Today we spent the day learning about Christmas in the Phillipines with Mrs. Ricarte. We made these beautiful paper lanterns and learned about her holiday traditions.
Room 33 has begun our unit on learning about holidays around the world. Here we are with our pointsettias from the country of Mexico.
