We started off the week with Ms. Shen pranking us on April Fools! We got a prank spelling test! We also got mealworms in our classroom and we learned that they turn into beetles! We saw that our potatoes grew over spring break. With our big buddies we practiced some relay races. We also started writing our own stories. It’s been a busy week! IMG_2271

Today we planted potatoes!! They will stay inside our classroom until it’s really warm out and then we’ll harvest them before the end of the year!

Today we worked hard at creating! We made shoes with adaptations, showed off our non-fiction books that we’ve been working on, created fingerprint art, and even did some some St. Patricks Day art!

Today we watched a performance by Ache Brasil! They danced, sang, and showed us some martial arts!

Today for Pink Shirt Day we talked about how it’s the better to be diverse, different, and unique because when we come together, we can create something beautiful!

Ms. Shen prepared S’mores supplies and we each got our own chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow! We even had halal marshmallows available.

We came in with so much energy this morning that Ms. Shen made us go out and run right when we got to school!

To continue our learning about water and how much we rely on water, we planted our own green beans today!

We each have our own plant to take care of, water, and to sing to. We can’t wait to watch them sprout!

This week we continue to learn about non-fiction texts by creating our very own creatures! We are creating our own animals to write facts about them and make a non-fiction styled book about our made up animals!

Last week we celebrated friendship and love! We handed out cards, wrote letters, made art, and ate snacks for Valentine’s Day!

This week we celebrated our 100th day of school and we got enough class points to have Ms. Shen bring in her pet turtle! Last week we used iPads to learn about Red Eared Sliders, so we know all about them!
