Our Alphabet Walk
Our class took a fun alphabet walk around the neighborhood this afternoon. Each student carried an alphabet wheel and we took turns identifying letters on street signs, building signs, license plates, and mailboxes. We managed to find all 26 letters of the alphabet!
See all the photos here!

Events 6/12/2014
We had some very exciting events this week.
Monday students participated in a museum activity called Blooming Butterflies. The students enjoyed The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a bean bag activity, caterpillar yoga, caterpillar art and a butterfly symmetry matching activity. We connected these activities with the butterflies in our classroom. We will be releasing our butterflies into the butterfly tent and then into the wild soon.
On Tuesday the Hap Barnes Fire Safety Trailer visited our school. Firefighter AJ taught us about how to be safe in our homes and Fire Inspector Mike taught us about how to get out of a house when it is on fire. We learned about STOP, DROP and ROLL. We would like to encourage all families to make a fire escape plan with their children, check smoke detectors in their home and practice what to do if there's a fire.
We are studying World of Water this month and are looking for families to share pictures and stories from the beach, aquarium, and ocean.

Butterflies Hatching
We've been busy with Spring time activities these past two weeks. We planted our vegetables in the garden and are taking careful care of them each day making sure they have enough water and sunlight. We planted tomatoes, eggplant and peppers in our garden box on the playground.
We are also excited to announce that our caterpillar-turned-chrysalises are finally hatching into butterflies! Today we had two bitterflies emerge from their cocoons and begin drying their wings. We've given them plenty of sugar water and oranges for food. We were so lucky to be able to watch one butterfly fully emerge from his cocoon.
This month we will be studying the world of water! The students have shown interests in the water cycle and where rain comes from. Our family project to look at and draw what you see in the clouds is due tomorrow!
