An Egg Hunt!

Remember to send in 12 to 24 plastic eggs and one bag of candy (no hard candy, please!) We need to have them by Wednesday so we can write their names on each one.
Thursday morning we will wear our adorable bonnets and bunny ears and go hunting for those eggs! We will begin around 9:00. You are invited to hop on in and join us for this delightful occasion.

What Happened to the Castle?

Who put all of our gold and yellow things in the middle of the classroom?

We can't believe someone wrecked the room! They even threw all of the yellow skittles on the floor. Fortunately we can clean it up! Who could these rascals be?

Why leprechauns, of course! They planned some fun St. Patrick's Day tricks, but we managed to trick them in the end. The luck of the Irish!

A Walk in the Woods!

Our trip began in the pavilion with our rangers letting us know what to look for on our hike.

Here we are with the cool clipboards in hand ready to see what wild things will appear before our eyes.

Justin is checking off an item on his list.

Brandon and his mom, Miss Lisa, are happy hikers!

Kyla is working on being a junior ranger. Way to go, girl!

Deep in the woods with Madison, Brandon, Varshi and Gabrylla.

Are we scared?

It's best to stick together! Especially if you're having fun, like these guys are!

Like super scientists, here we are comparing notes on what we found.

The rangers tell us about plants we saw and their special characteristics.

Jacob is intent on being a science kid extraordinaire!

Tyler is taking it all in. What a deep thinker!

Shiver Me Timbers!

This week we studied the letter x and celebrated with a pirate theme. We studied maps and talked about buried treasure. (x marks the spot!).
Then we finished the fun week off by dressing like pirates, drawing a treasure map and writing how to find the treasure. (This fit in perfectly with our last piece of telling people "how to" in writer's workshop).
The final bit of fun was using our map and looking for treasure in the class. ARRRRR, maties!

Madison is still looking, but here are Nicky and D'Jarius with their loot!

Field Trip to UNF on March 11!

Our field trip to UNF nature trail will be Wednesday, March 11.

The $7.00 fee is due by Friday, March 6.

Remember to pack a lunch with either juice or water. No sodas, please.

Your child should wear comfortable shoes for walking and long pants and a cap to deter bugs.

You may also want to apply bug repellant before they leave home.

It should be a beautiful day for a walk in the woods!

Valentine's Day is a Sweet Treat

Kindness, friendship and gratitude made a striking appearance on Valentine's Day, as they should on every day.

100 days of Royal Fun!

February 2 marked 100 days of learning and fun in Queensland. We celebrated with four stations of 100 day activities.
We filled a 100 chart with stickers, pictures and stamps.
We wrote about what we wished we had 100 of and what we didn't want 100 of!
We made a 100 piece lego sculpute.
And the grand finale was 100 pieces of food to make a snack! (Thanks to Miss Wanda, Nicky's mom for providing lots of goodies!)

ies!
