Happy Tuesday! Today we finished up our unit on patterns. Next week we will be starting a new unit in math: measurement. Just a reminder that if your son would like to bring in any items from home that begin with the letter K to share with his peers that would be great!

Happy Wednesday! We had a very busy morning today. During our work period we did science. We are learning about plants and their needs. We read the book We Are The Gardeners which taught us about what plants need to grow. Each boy then drew a picture in their visual journal showing 3 of the needs of plants: water, soil and sun. Next, each boy had the opportunity to plant a flower. We will be observing and documenting the growth of our plants in our plant journal. Ask your son if he remembers what kind flower we planted. The boys also earned enough class points to watch a movie. The boys chose to watch a Wild Kratts show.

Happy Tuesday Today the boys learned what kind of building project we are doing. Since St. Patrick's day is coming up we thought that it would a fun idea to build Leprechaun traps. We watched the story "How to Catch a Leprechaun" on Youtube to get some ideas. Next, we watched some videos on Youtube that showed us how to build a trap. Finally, we looked at some pictures online of some examples of traps that other people have made. The boys then had the opportunity to design their own trap by drawing what they want their trap to look like. Next week Monday, and Tuesday we will be doing the actual building of the traps in time for St. Patrick's day on Tuesday. If you have any cardboard boxes (no bigger than a shoebox), empty tissue boxes, toilet paper rolls, egg cartons, that you could send in, the boys would be so appreciative. Please send any materials in by Thursday March 12th.  Here's what the boys had to say about the day: How did we grow today? ...
