LEAP DAY!!



On Monday it was Leap day. Leap day is an extra day that only happens on February 29th and this only happens every four years. We won't have another leap day until we are in 6th grade. We celebrated Leap day by doing silly leaping things. We played leap frog, and wrote a story about what time we would leap if we could. I chose when my dad was a kid. I would love to leap and meet him as a kid. We also colored these frogs and went on a leap day scavenger hunt. It was a fun fun day. By: Red Panda

The Branches of the Government


We are learning about the Government. It very complicated but we know that there are three parts. They are the Judicial, the Executive and the Legislative. The Executive is the President! The Judicial is the judges or the Supreme Court and the Legislative is the Congress! We made these cool trees that flip to remind us about the three branches. We made this video to show what we are learning. We hope you like it! By: Puppy

Dr. Seuss Day!!!



We like reading books! On March 2nd, it was Dr. Seuss' birthday! We were so happy. We celebrated it all day long. We read a lot of his books and they were great. Here you can see a pile his books. We have lots of them in our classroom. They filled up our whole kidney table. 


During Math, we used what we learned about measurement to make a "Cat in the Hat" Hat! We had to measure how tall and wide it was and figure out how big the strips were. It was not too hard but kind of tricky to get the lines straight. We had a lot of fun doing it. 


We also made these silly Thing one and Thing two project. We painted our hands to make their heads. We then drew their bodies and glued their numbers on them. We wrote the character traits that describe them around their heads. They are so silly. 


This is a silly picture of our teacher. We used a fun app called "Cat cam" to take silly Dr. Seuss pictures! We thought they were so funny and fun to do! 

We hope you had fun on Dr. Seuss' birthday too!

Lent Jar


This is a Lent Jar. We use it to put slips inside. We write things that we did during Lent to help others. We can also write things that we gave up or are trying to do to help Jesus. It helps us remember that Jesus loves us and that on Easter he is going to die for us. We keep it on our prayer table and can put our good deeds in it when we do them. By: Horse

Parts of Speech Robots



These are parts of speech robots. You have to find adjectives, pronouns, verbs and nouns on a paper. We wrote the words on the correct body part. It was tricky because there were lots of words. We got to put together the robot. We hung them on our cubbies and everyone can see them when they come into our classroom. We love them! By: Owl

We LOVE to Read!



We picked a book that was our favorite. We had to write in introduction sentence, details, and a conclusion. We also to write reasons why we really loved this book. I did the book, "Frankenstein Valentine." We made sure to edit our writing because good writers always edit. We put them on the wall, so that other people could see our creations and maybe want to read out book too. We drew the cover of the book because people wouldn't know what book we loved. Now they can find them in our bookcase too! By: Fox

Measuring with Colored Tiles



We are learning about how to measure with different things. We started by using colored tiles. This picture shows us measuring items with color tiles. We are now working using measuring tapes, rulers, and yardsticks to measure in inches, feet and yards. We think it's fun to measure but its hard work too.
We can't wait to learn how to measure in centimeters! By: Pony
