We continued to do measuring.  This time the students had to connect a picture to show the weight.

The children did a picture related to this cheery blossom tree.  This week, they will listen to the famous story, The Cheery Tree.  From here they will be asked to sequence the story.  The Kindergarten students will draw events and dictate their ideas to me.  The grade ones will draw parts of the story but will write their own ideas.

We have been focusing our our Earth and how to protect it.  Birds are an important part of the eco-system.  We will view a video on this topic and then write about it.

In our discussions about earth, we read several books.  One was about recycling.  Here each child had a choice to use a cleaned but old nylon to freely paint on.  This was a very popular activity!
