June 3 - 14

It has been a fun couple of weeks since I last posted! Some highlights from the week of the 3rd included a goodbye party for our high school helper, Ms. Alexia, the In and Out (and In-Between) Picnic, a visit from Mr. Rob, and lots of fun in the sun! This past week, we read some silly stories, worked on our Father’s Day projects, took End of the Year pictures, and did a science experiment where we made our own crystals from epsom salt, hot water, and food coloring! Next week, we will go on a walking field trip to Gladstone Creamery to have a special ice cream story time, finish up all of our projects, and say goodbye at the End of the Year Celebration on the last day of school!

May 28 - 31

This week, we continued learning about seeds, plants, and gardens. On Tuesday, we read “Growing Vegetable Soup” by Lois Elhert and talked about the different ways that vegetables grow. We also tasted radishes for our rainbow taste test! Many of the students agreed that they tasted spicy, and three students liked them. On Wednesday, we worked together to create a giant picture of a garden! Students drew flowers (real and imaginary), vegetable plants, worms, butterflies, and even a dog’s ball that got lost in the garden! It is now hanging in the classroom. On Thursday, we enjoyed the beautiful weather and spent a lot of time playing outside! The students enjoyed making “chocolate milk” and “mud cake” in the mud kitchen. On Friday, we tasted blueberries to finish our rainbow taste test. Nine out of eleven students liked the blueberries, and a couple of them tried them for the first time! Later, we read “Blueberries for Sal” which the students were just as enthralled by as I was at their age! Next week, we will read some of Ms. Rice’s favorite books, work hard on social-emotional skills, and enjoy the beginning of the end of the school year!
