Plants!

This week we discussed the life cycle of plants.  The students loved learning about this topic and planting some of their own plants this week.

"The Tiny Seed" by one of our favorite authors, Eric Carle

Labeling the parts of a plant





Ordering the life cycle of a plant



The students all plant grass seeds.  We'll take care of these plants over the next several weeks and watch the sprout and grow!






Ellie brought in a plant she planted at home, it's an apple tree from an apple seed!  Thanks, Ellie!

We enjoyed reading these books too!

And making our own cloud formations!



Play-Doh fun!


More spring fun!

Easter!

This week we began a two week thematic unit on Easter.  We made many Easter crafts throughout the week.

Paper plate bunnies



Cute chicks



Adding and subtracting with jelly beans


Egg painting






Everyone loved painting with watercolors




The students made these cute handprint flowers.  We have them displayed in the hallway, they make our school look cheery and ready for Spring!





 Our class was the lucky recipients of free tickets to the Southern Miss basketball game on Wednesday night.  The Golden Eagles played in the opening round of the NIT tournament!  Everyone was very excited to cheer on the Golden Eagles! 



Perfect Attendance for the third nine weeks -
