Week 36: Grow Garden Grow

This week we got to observe our garden growth. Students are now measuring by the foot and we observed one tomato plant was 1ft. and 3". I can't wait to see how much it grew after all the rain. 

Please know, if you want to continue taking care of our garden over the summer you are more than welcome to help yourself to the cucumbers, watermelon, beans, tomatoes, and sunflowers.

Weeks 34 & 35

The past few weeks have been full of rich conversation and writing about how to save the Earth. A huge thank you to Mr. Wirth, Scooter's dad, for installing supportive structures for our summer garden. We also had a visit from Mr. Reduce from Planet Go Green, as well as Mr. Erick, who shared his musical instruments from all over the world.

Week 33: Symmetry Hunters

We started and ended the week with special treats from Mrs. Silverman. A huge thank you to Mrs. Silverman for making the most delicious fruit pops for both classes. That was the perfect treat at the beach! Again, thank you to Mrs. Silverman for making the most delicious kale chips. Also, many thanks to Mrs. Price for helping us walk to and from the beach. I always appreciate the extra hands on deck.

We had a busy week of learning and building. As we continue to do our research on habitats I was thinking about turning one of our garden beds into a butterfly garden. If anyone is willing to donate milkweed or any other type of plant it would be greatly appreciated.

Week 32: Harvesting our garden

We got to harvest our garden this week, and what a surprise it was digging up our carrots. Yikes! A special thanks to Mrs. Silverman for volunteering to make Kale Chips for our class.

Week 31: Tree Hill!

The highlight of this week was Tree Hill. What an incredible experience this was and who knew this was in our back yard.

Week 30: Our first play!

I'm sure all the parents are as impressed with last Friday's performance as I am. The students did an absolutely amazing job. All their hard work and studying paid off.

Week 29:Watch out Broadway

This week we continued to prepare for our big show, A Midsummer Night's Dream. I was incredibly impressed to see the students have memorized their lines. We further explored shapes and habitats in Math and Science, and we have continued to talk about nouns and verbs in English.
