Insect Concert

Thursday was Sing, Dance and Share day in the countdown.  All the first graders met in the theater and entertained us with great insect songs and facts.  I hope you were all able to join us.  It was a fabulous show!  Unfortunately, many students in our class were out sick.  We really missed you guys!

Here are a few pictures from the event.  (and hopefully a video that works)

Reading Day!

Yesterday was Reading Reading Reading Day!  Many parents joined us for this special day.  We broke into small groups and the kids enjoyed listening to the moms read new books to them.  After 30 minutes of listening to books, the kids sat around the room in their reading spots and read books to the moms.  The kids had a great time and I think so did the moms.  It was also fun for me to step back and watch the children.  They have come so far this year!  It's incredible!

A big thanks to the parents who joined us for Reading Day!  We love having you in the classroom.

Insects Beautiful Insects!

Today was Insect day in class.  In the morning we had a practice on stage for our insect concert.  Then we painted our bug shirts and watched a Magic School Bus movie on butterflies and ants.  In the afternoon we went outside and observed insects and minibeasts in nature.  What a fun day working with insects and minibeasts!
