Smart Bloomers

I hope my smart little blooms make you smile on this rainy and stormy day.  I just wanted to let everyone know that all after school activities have been canceled for today due to the severe storms!  Stay safe and remember we have our field trip tomorrow.  We'll be leavin the school at 9:30 am to head to the museum.  

Treasure Hunting

We have been working on our IB planner called Sensational Investigations, in which the central idea is for students to be able to describe objects based on their physical properties and how they are used.  For writing yesterday I decided to tie in our IB planner with the book "Pig Kahuna" written by Jennifer Sattler.

The book is about two brother pigs who hunt for treasures on the beach because they are too scared to go in the water.  On their hunt they find a surfboard and name it Dave.  Dave becomes their bestfriend!  We talked about what different senses we would use if we went on our own treasure hunt.  The kids did great with using their 5 senses to explain ways to hunt for different treasures on the beach. 

After talking about how to treasure hunt we talked about what they would hope to find on their hunts.  My little hunters came up with great ideas!  I love seeing their little creative minds working when brainstorming for their writing!

Shells, a Pirate Ship, and gold coins for these three hunters.

A sparkly beach towel, a bright flash light, and a surfboard for these other three hunters! 

I hope everyone is having a great week!  Don't forget Thursday is our Field Trip to the Museum of Natural Science!  We are very excited!

The Great Egg Hunt

We had so much fun at our Classroom Egg Hunt this year!  Thank you so much to everyone that sent in eggs, candy, and supplies for my sweet little bunnies to find in their baskets! 

Wow!  Look at all the eggs my little Bunnies found

Before the egg hunt I explained to everyone that all the eggs we found would be put in the middle of the carpet and divided up evenly!  That way everyone ended up with the same number of eggs and everyone was happy!  They did a great job understanding this and sharing their eggs with each other!

 Very excited Egg Hunters all ready to head out in search of eggs!

 Ready, set, GO!!!

 

 

 The Grass in our courtyard had not been cut in a while, so luckily it was very easy to hide the eggs for the students!

 

 

 

 After the egg hunt we got down to business and divided and sorted all the eggs we found!  It was a great math lesson and the kids loved figuring out what color egg they found the most of! 

 Sorting and Graphing our eggs!

Once again, I can't say thank you enough for all the help and supplies!  I really appreciate it and couldn't do it without wonderful and caring parents like y'all!  I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Easter!

Spring has sprung!

Happy Spring!!!  I hope everyone had a great Easter, I will be posting pictures from our Egg Hunt hopefully either tonight or tomorrow!  We had so much fun, thank you to everyone that sent in eggs for us!  Last week in literacy we were working hard on word families.  We did this cute activity with a flower pot and the -at family!  I'm so proud of how great they turned out and my class full of little smarties!
