Outdoor Learning Classroom - NESTS

This week we took the learning outside and continued learning about birds.  Today's lesson was focused on NESTS.  The kids learned all about WHY nests are important, WHERE nests can be found (and built) as well as WHAT nests can be made of.  During the last part of the lesson the kids got to make their OWN nests!

Small Moments Publishing Party

How wonderful it is to celebrate hard work!  We spent some time Thursday morning celebrating the writing that we have been working on for the past few weeks.  Our party began by having everyone read his /her published piece.  We then had a few refreshments, and the kids set their books on their desks.  The class then had the opportunity to walk around the room and re-read the 

various books that they found extra interesting! 

The PUBLISHED pieces!

Reading to their peers!

All Together!

I just wanted to share a new class photo!  We had some students out of the country during the 1st few weeks of school.  Now that we are all together, I wanted to share a  new class picture.

Writing Buddies

We have been working on writing Small Moment Stories the past few weeks.  The other day I was so impressed by the writing partnerships that the kids have created that I just had to snap a few photos!

Outdoor Learning Classroom

We had our 1st Outdoor Learning Classroom experience Wednesday, Sept. 16th.  The kids had the opportunity to become Ornithologists (bird experts).  We started off by taking a quiz to see just how much we know about birds.  Then the kids each got their own bird card filled with information about a single bird and filled out an information sheet about that specific bird.  Many thanks to Mrs. Strayhorn and Mrs. Small for coming out to help!  

Spoede R.O.C.K.S!

We spent the first few days of school going over what ROCKS means.  As a final activity the kids made little skits to act out each part of ROCKS.  Make sure to ask your child 

regularly how they are showing ROCKS each day!
