It is here! We have reached 100 days of school as of February 4! The day will be dedicated to fun math activities all themed on the number 100. Look for pictures next week, and ask your child about the day when they get home. Later in the week, Mary Timm will return to continue helping the students create pictures for the federal duck stamp competition.
Last week in Science, the students explored three types of soil. They looked at, and discussed differences in the soils humus, sand, and clay. This week we will plant seeds and see which soil plants grow best in. The students have also enjoyed watching red worms grow larger and break down organic materials in the container used to house them.
On Friday the Tetlin Environmental Technician
, Theresa Christiansen, visited our classroom to teach the students about ice safety. The class enjoyed learning the helpful tips and also the little gift bags they were given with new pencils.
It continues to amaze me at how imaginative the students can be when given creative play time during centers at the end of the day. The tower in the photo to follow was built by one of the boys on Friday, and the whole class wanted in when I took the photo.
Enjoy your week; I know we will with all the fun activities that are planned for the students to learn from!
