Dr. Seuss's Birthday

The students had a great time performing a little dance to Dr. Seuss's Foot Book. Our students have been practicing once a week with their big buddies. The big buddies have read countless Dr. Seuss books to them and they helped them make really great hats and masks for the performance.

They were so excited and such great dancers. What a great way to end the day!!!

Valentines and counting to 100.

These are two things we celebrated in February. The students had a great time counting objects to 100, actually 101. The Valentine's celebration was very special. Great work on learning how to spell your friends names!!!

So many things to tell you. . .

Well this year is off to a great start!

We have been learning about how animals and humans change over time. We have studied several animals and how they change over time.

We learned that a caterpillar hatches from an egg, and before it can become a butterfly it must build a pupa as shelter for the transformation.

We also learned that goslings transform into beautiful geese and that butterflies and geese both migrate.

We have also learned the different stages of life in young children: newborn, baby, toddler, and child. The students have been fascinated with everything they are learning.

As a group your children are producing some amazing written works! They are really starting to take off as young authors. Please check out their writing in class and in the hallways.

We also started having a visitor on Wednesday mornings. Her name is Ms. Costello and she is our nutrition expert. She will teach the students about delicious and nutritious snacks they can eat at school and at home. Please look forward to a new recipe everyweek. YEAH for yummy snacks!!!!

Welcome Back from break

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back from break. We have a lot of new activities happening in our classroom this term. On Tuesdays the Garden Coordinator will be coming to our classroom and teaching us about the importance of composting and gardening.


On Wednesdays we will be learning about Health and Nutrition. Janet Costello will be visiting us every Wednesday to teach us about the importance of eating a rainbow of foods and good hygiene.

I am happy to see everyone back from break. I can tell that the kids really missed eachother.
