We are scientists, mathematicians, writers, and teachers!

We are thrilled to be back in our spring uniforms after a restful Spring Break! We continue to learn about measurement as our plants grow taller. It was so exciting to find a few buds beginning to open up as the weather begins to get warmer. We have enjoyed taking pictures of the growing plants and, just like real scientists, we are learning to draw what we see in the picture. We are making observations and predicting what the plants will be once they bloom. We also measure our plant each time we observe it so that we can see how tall it grows. They seem to grow and change as fast as we do!





Inside the classroom we have practiced measuring our bodies with sticks, inchworms, chains, and even our own feet!


We are continuing to learn new words families. Our focus this week is on the -ug family. We learned about insects, made ladybug hats, and created a new page for our word family book.






These girls always love an opportunity to be the teacher! Today we spent our math time teaching each other some games we have learned to help reinforce our math skills.






Happy Spring!
