I feel like such a slacker, I have not updated my blog in weeks. Between being sick and all the other things I let take over my life I have failed to keep up with the blog. I truly apologize. Over the past few weeks we have been exploring many new things. We learned what oviparous means. We created a cute riddle bulletin board about oviparous animals. Please stop by and read the riddles. The students have been writing in their journals. Their independent writing is coming along so nice. We also planted some marigold flowers and we are watching them grow. We had our first sprouts today! We have been studying plants and what they need to grow. We have also been talking about the parts of a plant and their importance to the plant. We also covered the different seasons and how a tree or plant looks during the different seasons.
Last week we started our Social and Emotional Service Project. We had a nurse come in from the Good Sam NICU. She talked to the students about what goes in unit and how their donations are used. I can't believe how responsive the students were. They really made some personal connections to the information that was presented to them.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our service project, if you haven't had a chance yet remember I do need all donations by Monday. We will be sorting and getting our donation ready for delivery. I really appreciate all your help with this project. Our goal is to have them make a connection to the community and how the little things we can do make a huge difference to others who are less fortunate then ourselves.
