Happy WEDNESDAY! Will there be sunshine tomorrow???????????


Working on parts of 10 (which, by the way, is a 1st grade standard!)



This morning we passed around our potato plants. We talked about how scientists make observations. So we don't want to say, "It's growing." We want to tell about it's size, color, shape, etc. 



We started our window gardens and continue to learn more about germination! 









I'll post more pictures tomorrow once they're all hung! We will get them down every day to make observations in our window garden books. 

Today we read, That Is Not a Good Idea, by Mo Willems (love!). It's SO cute! We did NOT read the ending. The children wrote their own ending....by inferring what might happen from clues in the rest of the book. 





Wisdom of the Day

Teachers kind of get tired at breaks or something, because they've been teaching so long.

(incredible wisdom if you ask me)

Happy Monday!

Well....I just had to have the kiddos paint a picture for last week's holiday! These are always SO beautiful when they're done :)

A Fun Friday....Indeed!

Today we celebrated Earth Day with a lot of fun things! We finally planted our potatoes! We also held our annual book swap, which was a hit! Thanks to all you--we were able to swap 142 books!!!!! That is most definitely a record :)
