We have been collecting Pennies for Peace. The pennies are going to Pakistan and Afghanistan. They will build more schools for children because learning helps us to know more about one another.

If you would like a can to collect some pennies to help please let us know and we will give you a collection can. Also if you want to know more about this read how Dr. Greg met the children of Korphe in the book, "Listen to the Wind."

School Home Links will no longer be coming home in the BEE notebook. You may access it through this link. It is a wonderful resource published by the education department.

Sesame Street - Ladybug picnic(better copy)

Ladybugs Ladybugs Everywhere!

Our ladybugs arrived early, but we have been enjoying observing them and wondering why all of them do not have spots? Do you know?

OH MY WHAT A WONDERFUL SPRING!

We are so excited! Our first graders have worked so hard practicing for the spring program. It was a great success and we really enjoyed watching and listening to them perform. Check out the upcoming pics of some pretty cute pond creatures from "A Froggy Day in Lindentown."

OH SO BUSY!!!

We have been very busy learning about famous Americans. We created hats to wear and we taped each child talking about either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Hopefully we will able to post these soon for you to view.

As we began the month of March we continued our study of weather. We have been exploring wind and force.

We enjoyed READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY and our weeklong study of Dr. Seuss....our t-shirts we created and wore that day were a big hit with everyone!

Our Very Hungry Reader Caterpillar has a circle body part with each child's name their own design. All of the students have earned two legs for their part. This represents 50 books read, so hopefully everyone will keep reading and add the next 25!!

Fun Week

Hurray!
It is done!!!
It has been such a busy week we have not had alot of time to enjoy it yet! But we plan on taking turns reading books in our special place!

We do still need to finish counting the milk jugs and get a grand total...Before we put on the top we had counted 111! Our math problem next week is to figure out if we used more milk jugs to make the top than the bottom.

How many do you think there are in our igloo?
