End of the alphabet
Last week we focused on the letter z. We had a lot of fun prepping for our Friday craft all week by coloring animals you would find at the zoo. We also learned about zigzags and practiced walking a zigzag line made from tape! We also “drove” toy cars through a zigzag path with paint […]

All About that Body!
The end of last week we devoted to Earth Day FINALLY finishing the globe we worked on all week. Then we went straight into talking about our bodies, not just physically, but also our personalities and emotions. One of the projects we enjoyed was creating life sized self portraits. We also created a new […]

Easter Fun and Space Exploration
We ended last week with Easter celebrations including an Egg Hunt on our playground on Friday.

The other teachers teased me, but my brainiac kids had no trouble rooting out every […]

We Love Fossils!
What a fun week as we continue our exploration of rocks, geography, erosion, and now fossils. Our museum has grown exponentially as has both our interest and knowledge. Thanks to the Library, we’ve got about 20 books on the subject to reference and various projects for hands on experience. One of our favorite activities (much […]
Rocks Rock!
As it turns out, lessons on volcanoes and earthquakes lead naturally into discussions about geology. This week we “rocked” it out with a fascinating study of all the different rock formations that come from our earth’s crust. Some friends brought rocks in that we washed and put on display. Other rocks we used for art […]
