We LOVE Books!

We enjoy listening to Max's grandma read to us each week in the Learning Commons.  This week, we listened to Yes Day! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld.  The children have lively discussions with her and she with them.  We are so fortunate that she volunteers her time each week to read to our class.  She also helps our school by reshelving all of the books that the children return to the library.

Poetry Party!

We have been reading many poetry books and enjoying learning about different kinds of poems.  Our Poetry Party is coming up next week and we hope you will be able to join us in our classroom on Thursday, May 23rd from 2:30-3:20.  Invitations will be coming home in your child's Friday Folder tomorrow.

Our Tadpole Visitor

We have been lucky enough to have a tadpole visit our classroom this week!  One of our friends found this tadpole near Reeds Lake and brought it in to share.  We are spending time observing this new friend as well! What fun!!!

We have been examining the tadpole and it's habitat with a flashlight and magnifying glasses.  

How could I forget???

How could I have forgotten to post a picture of our wonderful worms!  The children have enjoyed observing, feeding, touching, and misting them every day!  We have used our magnifying glasses to get a good look at our wonderful worms as well as written some wonderful observations about them.

If you look very closely, you can see a large redworm in the center 

of the picture.  There are 23 more hiding and burrowing in the soil!

Frederik Meijer Gardens Field Trip

We had a great time at the Meijer Gardens last week!  We participated in the Then and Now program and learned a lot!  After our program, the children were able to explore the Gardens and see even more.  Thank you to all of the parents who drove on our field trip:)
