Transportation

We had more community helpers come and visit us this week!

K-9 Rene and his police officer came to mates on Thursday. We learned that Rene speaks German so the officer gives all of his commands in German!

We had some "tooth fairy" visitors from the dentists office come and talk to us about cleaning our teeth and healthy eating.

In class we have been learning about all types of transportation from cars to boats to planes.

We labeled the parts of a car and made our own cars and said where we would go in our cars.

Finn can go to the beach.

Will can go to the fire station.

We made vehicles to add to our community map.

We made our own planes that are flying around in Room 2.

Community Helpers

We started our unit on maps and community helpers this week!

We were lucky to have two special presenters - our own Mrs. Capell came to talk with the class about being a chiropractor and how to keep our bodies healthy by eating healthy foods.

We also had a visitor from the sheriffs department bomb squad who shared his robot and special uniform with us.

We even got to go on the truck!

We have been working hard in our classroom this week creating our own maps and talking about what we want to be when we grow up.

Each child made a building for our community map. We will continue adding to this map during our transportation unit as well.

We have quite a group of community helpers - from teachers to shopkeepers to construction workers! Below Zach wants to be a paleontologist and Manar wants to be a doctor!

Valentines Day

We had a fun filled Valentines Day celebration today!

We sorted and graphed candy hearts

We decorated cookies!

We passed out our valentines.

We made some beautiful "heart art" inspired by artist Jim Dine.

To end the day with some extra fun, we acted out the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Happy 100th Day of School

We had so much fun today. We are 100 days smarter, and to celebrate, we had a fun filled day of activities all revolving around the number 100!

We made crowns and 100 Day glasses, using 100 decorations!

Lily made a 100 man!

Justice made his family out of the number 100!

We worked hard all day to write 100 words!

After using a scale (see below), we documented our findings using a greater than/less than symbol.

We are weighing the various bags of 100 items and comparing their weights.

We can write to 100!

Last, but not least, we made a structure using100 red solo cups.
