Nature Center

Friday, February 18 we made bird feeders and took them to the nature center to hang. We have noticed more and more birds coming back for the beginning of spring. To get them ready for the spring months we decided to feed them. We used empty milk cartons and cut out a heart (in celebration of Valentine’s Day). Then we spread peanut butter on the heart and sprinkled bird feed on the peanut butter. After all the bird feeders were complete we headed to the nature center to hang them on branches for the birds. We will head back out there before spring break to check the feeders and clean up any empty feeders. Thank you parents for the empty cartons!

CHAMPS assembly at 8:00 tomorrow…..Don’t Be Late!!!

Our day started off with morning meeting then we came to the room and unpacked. After checking folders and planners we did morning message. Our morning message was about self-control, something we are working on every day. Next, we worked on our writers’ workshop stories. Two students shared their published books today. Adrian read his book about his birthday party and Korban read us his book about tiger sharks. Then we read more about George Washington. Something interesting we learned about him was that he lost all of his teeth and to wear false teeth made out of hippopotamus tusk. Next, we worked on our President booklet and picked out true facts about George Washington. Before recess we went to the stage to practice our CHAMPS assembly. We definitely have strong voices because we were too loud during practice. After recess we ate a lunch of chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, and a hot roll. When we came back to the classroom we did number corner then did a Valentine riddle using a hundreds chart. Then we started creating our own riddles by making a picture on the hundreds chart. Tomorrow we will use our words to make the riddle for others to solve it.
