This week we studied the letter Rr, it's sound, how to write it and words that begin with Rr. For our cooking activity, we make raven cookies. We researched ravens, what they eat, and where you can find them. Then we made cookies that look like ravens. It was fun and yummy!!
Earth Day
Tuesday was Earth Day. We discuss recycling, reducing, and reusing. We wrote about what we can do to help the Earth. We practice "reducing" in our classroom and school by using less water and paper towels and using both sides of our papers. We also practice reusing by finding scraps of paper, bags, plates, and "trash" and used our creativity to re-use the trash to make something new.
Ladybug Release
Last week we receive a "bubble" full of ladybugs. We spent several days observing them and writing about them. We also learned that they will not survive in their little bubble for very long, and in order for them to live longer we needed to release them. The kids decided that we needed to release them in our school habitat so that they can eat the bugs in our garden and our vegetables will grow bigger. The kids had a great time at our ladybug release!
Cabbage Eating
In October we planted cabbage in our school's habitat. It was finally ready to be harvested. After a though washing and a little dip in ranch dressing, most of the kids liked it! Look how tall the plants got with all the rain we have had this month!!
Pride Rally
Today we had Pride Rally. We watched the 4th graders perform and the Dance Club perform. Mrs. Brown (PE) got a pie thrown in her face by the student that collected the most money for Jump Rope for Heart. The Running Club got their awards for running their 5K. Their was LOTS of celebrating going on at Florence Hill yesterday!!
