We are excited to be back! Our collaborative Thank you X  art is finally up on the board and looking amazing!

Since we will be learning about lifecycles this term we’ve welcomed some new pets into our classroom. Meet Sticky (named by the students) and her 3 babies (I only took pictures of 2 because the third one is really good at hiding!).

The students will be taking turns spraying the blackberry leaves/cage so that the stick bugs keep hydrated.  We’ve measured Sticky and she is 12 cubes  (12 cm) long! The babies are only 2 cubes (cm) long.

Yesterday, as you may know, Ms. Shen’s class was kind enough to have an Easter egg hunt for our class where each student got to find an egg with a goodie in it.  We thanked them by writing cards to their class and reciprocated by hiding their eggs for them while they were out for their lunch play time. Finally to welcome in April and April Fools day I had the students take a pop spelling test  that would be used for their report card grades. They all tried their best and their bonus word #11 was “Fools”. They were good sports about my prank. Here is the list of (Dr. Suess) words that they had to try to spell:

Wishing everyone a wonderful 4 day Easter break!
