We have been busy bees working on so many activities related to our inquiry “What stories do the seasons share with us?”  We look forward to our Student-Led Conferences this Thursday when students will show and share their recent work.  They are ready to shine and reflect on their progress and growth as learners in Room 15.

Our Greenhouse is sprouting with growth as is our courtyard containers.  We have planted beans and lettuce.  We are also maintaining the Clinton Indigenous Plant Garden and we are the first class to highlight the featured plant of the week.  At this time, the Oregon Grape Plant is featured.  Check out the garden display box as well as our classroom window to see our drawings of the Oregon Grape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nature came into the classroom in the way of maple tree branches, apple tree branches and little gem branches so that students could construct and build their own bird nests.  They were inspired by the book “Mamma Built A Little Nest!”  We know that you will enjoy seeing the completed  nests on  Thursday  as  it  was  a process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have also been getting ready for some Spring sports by practicing our badminton skills in the gym.  There are many students with very good hand-eye coordination.  Enjoy the warmer weather and the opportunity to get out in nature, engage in some spring activities and plant some new beginnings in your gardens.  See you on May the 4th…May The Fourth Be With You!
