A Month of Excitement!


Reflecting on the learning this month has been absolutely exciting.  It is wonderful to scroll through the pictures we’ve taken and see all that we have done together!  I thought for this blog I would tell our story through pictures with a simple description explaining each.  Are you ready for a tour?

We enjoyed reading two versions of The Mitten. At the end of the exploration, we compared the two books.  The kids did a fantastic job!




Our students have been continuing to show their number values in a variety of ways.  Here a student is matching the group, number and number word.


We also started our measurement unit with money and time.


After reading Snowflake Bentley a few times (boy, do we enjoy his story!), Mrs. Snyder’s class decided to grow their own crystals. Amazing results!





Lily and Hope (black bears in Ely, Minnesota) have been “adopted” as our class pets.   We follow them each day on bear.org.  With the help of a den cam, we are able to see what the mommy bear is up to and now her THREE cubs! 




This past week we had an outstanding celebration for our Chinese New Year.  The children made cards, decorations, food and performances.  The day was truly magical!

Winter has been a lot of fun, but we are also remembering that spring is around the corner.  Our Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and our friend the groundhog shared this great news this week.
