Time flies when you are having fun!!!!!!!!

We have been so busy learning and having fun that we forgot all about our BLOG.  When we realized that we have not posted anything since March, we decided to fill you in on what we've been doing.

Well we finally built our fort with Mrs. Pangman.  The other day Matt, Emily and Connor came to help us.  Our fort is made out of rolled up newspapers and little plastic connectors and masking tape.  Thanks for sending in all the newspapers.  We sure had fun with this project and thank you Mrs. Pangman for helping us.

In April we learned that "April showers bring May flowers and that Mayflowers bring pilgrims!"  We spent our choice time cooking and learning how to measure and mix our ingredients.  We made tasty snack foods and even created our own cookbooks, so try our recipes at home they are delicious.  Benjamin's favorite thing we made was the blueberry muffins, Izabel liked the fruit smoothies and Ellie what did you like?

During the month of May we are learning about things that live in the ocean.  We know that there are four oceans, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Arctic and the Indian oceans.  We have talked about some deep  ocean fish such as sharks, seahorses and the deep-sea angler.  We have learned about whales and know that they are mammals just like we are.  Some whales have baleen and some are toothed and that is how they chew up their food.

Today we went to Ellie's auntie Carol's classroom, she is otherwise known as Mrs. Giles or the "fish lady."  We saw two baby chicks that have hatched out of eggs.  The chicks are now two days old and we know there are more to come.  Ellie decided to name one Unicorn and the other one Rainbow.  Izabel decided to name one Fluffy and the other one Peepers.  The words used to describe the chicks were, tiny, sooooooo cute, one was fluffy and one wasn't, they are adorable and one even climbed up an arm!!!!!

So now you know what we've been doing and once again we say, "learning is fun."

Izabel and Benjamin have something to say.

Yesterday I read Izabel and Benjamin the first questions asked by the Mysterious Blogger and here is what they had to say.

When the blogger asked what they liked to do at school they both said, that at school they play and they like to go outside and that they are studying about bears.  Izabel said, that her favorite thing to do at school is to play outside and Benjamin said, that he likes to play with Archie at school.

I asked them if they ever have special visitor's come to school?  They said that they have had Archie come to visit, which was a special treat, that Leo, Miss Atkin's nephew came to school last year and that Sushi Joe came to make some sushi.  Izabel said, that it was good, but she didn't like the spicy part and Benjamin said, that he liked the mango.

Torpedo boat photos

This morning we were able to go aboard a Navy torpedo boat.  Here are some of the things we saw!

We're Off and Running

I am trying something new so that you can view what we do.  This will be a Blog of our class, what we do, our learning and activities.  I will update it often with photos and copies of the children's work as well as  some fun comments from them so you can see what we're up to.  This will be a fun  and easy way for you to have a "birds eye view" into our class.  Feel free to check it out, to send us comments or send your child a note which I could then read to them.
